Great Book
I bought it for my son who is just starting to drink red wine. The book has everything in it. My husband is a wine drinker and he thought the book was great. Go ahead order one you will not be disappointed.

Years ago I bought the Essential Guide to Wine for myself. Now I buy it as a gift for my friends who want to learn more. They enjoy this easy to read and understand Guide!

Wine Folly book
I work in a wine shop, and I have found the book invaluable in helping the novice, as well as connecting with more serious wine aficionados


Wine 201
We purchased the Essential Guide to help us with our 201 course. It made following the course easier and we refer to the information in the book whenever we open a new (to us) bottle of wine. Worth the price - especially if you're doing a course.
