Summary: Begin your journey...
Comment: with a book about wine that unravels and decodes all the language that goes with wine. Philip Seldon takes you step by step through the wine world, without all the fancy words and snobbish attitude that the wine world is stereotyped with. He guides you through wine in a way that allows you to form your own opinions. This book sits on my coffee table and it has a been a useful tool in my journey with wine.

Summary: An Excellent Place to Begin
Comment: The concept of the "Idiot's" and "Dummies" guides is a bit too cute for some people -- and others are too pretentious to have one seen sitting on their bookshelf -- but in more than a few cases, a true expert in the field has been called upon to pen the work, and Phillip Seldon is indeed an expert in wine, as his straightforward and hugely informative work shows. If you know nothing about wine, this is the place to start. Seldon doesn't forget to show you how to uncork a bottle before getting on with how to taste and smell and examine a wine. His strength is not overlooking the *why?* behind little things like why whites wines are served cold and reds at room temperature, why a bottle should be stored on its side, why champagne has bubbles -- all things one needs to know before, say, getting bogged down in critiquing vintages. Start a lifelong love of wine -- get this book and buy a few bottles. Spend the weekend holding your own wine tasting.

Summary: The Best Introductory Wine Book
Comment: This book is simply wonderful - it tells you everything you need to know about wine without being cute or condescending like Wine for Dummies. Robert Mondavi says that this is the best introductory book on wine and it certainly is. It has more information than Wine for Dummies including specific wine recommendations. While it is an Idiot's Guide it does not treat you like an idiot. I recommend it for everybody who wants to learn about wine.
