Fabulous Wine Book

I truly enjoy this book. So much I order one as a gift for my wine loving daughter. I only wish you had a way to send it with either a gift card or message. When she received it she did not know that I had sent it. Other than that this book is the encyclopedia of wine. Superbly done. Great job.

Second purchase

This was actually the second purchase I made of the Wine Folly Master Guide. I have found this book easy to navigate and it serves as an excellent resource for basic wine knowledge, from types of grapes, to wine making methods, and wine growing regions. The book goes on to describe the nuances of wine aromas, tasting notes and the pairing of foods. I purchased this book for my son who is just getting into the world of wine. I believe this book is helping greatly to focus his study of wine and it serves as a ready resource to reinforce his knowledge, as he continues his journey with wine education.
