Winewise: Your Complete Guide to Understanding, Selecting, and Enjoying Wine Hardcover – January 1, 2008

This book should never be read cover to cover. The material is too dense, but anyone in the restaurant industry could do right by their customers, and their tips, by investing some time with this book. Take a few minutes at a time while between shifts, on the toilet, or riding the street car home and you'll be able to match a wine with your food or the food of your guests in a few months time. Yes, I said a few months time. Wine wisdom doesn't come quickly, but the book allows you to constantly come back and not have that textbook feel as you continue to learn through repeat exposure.

FOund the book very compelling. Using the regional maps I was surprised to learn how many of the wines I really enjoy are all grouped together in a similar area of California.

This book is very good for the person interested in learning more about wine. The information covers types of grapes, the regions in which they are grown, produced and bottled; down to how to the basics of understanding labels. An excellent book.

This ended up being a lovely gift for a friend who is interested in learning about wine. Wine is a passion of mine and I wanted to share this passion with a good friend. The book seemed to have a lot of useful and interesting information.

This book is fantastic. If your just looking to drink wine or study it! It gives you the best education. Besides the Wines Class in Culinary institute of America

The book came in very good conditions! I'm very happy with the material received. I definitely will by again. Thanks

I've just read a little so far in this book, but it's living up to my impressions of being very readable and informative, allowing one to learn a lot about different wines in an easy to use and understandable format.
