Title: Oz Clarke's Introducing Wine: A Complete Guide for the Modern Wine Drinker by Oz Clarke ISBN: 0-15-100642-3 Publisher: Harcourt Pub. Date: 03 November, 2000 Format: Hardcover Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $20.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (4 reviews)

Summary: A great beginner's Book
Comment: This is the best introductory wine boook that I know.
Rating: 4
Summary: A Good First Guide
Comment: A very good introduction to the world of wine. Clarke spends the majority of the book discussing the basics: what to expect from different varities of wine, and what to expect from the various geographical regions where wine is produced. He spends little time on specific labels (although he does offer a few suggestions), so if you are looking for a buying guide this is not your book. It does not go into much depth, but it does a fine job of covering the subject in a light, engaging manner.
Rating: 4
Summary: a non-snobby and easy-to-follow introduction
Comment: Just as I enjoy armchair travelling for its budget price, I like armchair wine books. Not all of us can afford to drink great wine daily, but it's fine to read about it and to heighten your appreciation when you do get the chance to try a great wine. This book is very easy to follow and does an especially great job on the various grape types (varietals) from gamay to nebbiolo and everything in between. It should answer almost anyone's basic questions about grapes and how wine is made. The flavor wheels and food charts are very helpful as are the regional breakdowns that make up part 3. I happen to like this breezy style, but if you want a stuffy wine book, don't buy this one. Our fearless author sticks in lots of his opinions, but in a way that makes us believe him.
For the novice (and even for the expert who needs some brushing up), this is an easy to follow and helpful guide to a world of wine.
