Summary: Should be re-named White Wine for Beginners
Comment: This is an very entertaining book, but it is also a good overview of wines. The book explains the types of grapes that are used, and reviews the regions of the world where wine is produced. Even though the book has a number of "snob alert" icons throughout the book, it is clearly aimed at the "better" wines. If you are interested in Gallo, Paul Masson, etc. type of "jug" wines you need to go someplace else since they are not covered at all! It seems a little odd that Gallo that sells say 100 million cases of wine a year is excluded, yet a French producer of 50 cases of White Burgandy a year is mentioned. The vintage charts for white wine is dated, but overall the book goes a long way to take the mystery out of wine.

Summary: A Good Book Is Like A Good Wine
Comment: It is a good book for someone who had no idea of white wine. It gives a general idea of different types of grapes and the vocabulary of "wine". Most important of all, it points out that a good wine difinition varies from a person to others. Now, I really enjoy to drink my white wine and try to determine the flavor, the acidity, etc.
