Customer Review: Handy Book
This book was given to me and became one of several books I have about wine. I was happy to discover that this one is informative, written in a great voice and looks a lot like a small cookbook so it has a new home in my kitchen where I’m often doing my wine drinking. All in all, a handy book to have around.

Customer Review: Great intro to wine
This is a great intro to wine, as well as a good reference for people who already have some wine knowledge. It covers regions, grapes varieties, and food and wine pairings. The language is fun and informative. I really enjoyed it. Will buy it as a fun present with a bottle of wine for friends’ birthdays, etc.
