Summary: A Terrific Introduction--I Read It in (almost) One Sitting!
Comment: I've spent more money than I care to think about in the last few weeks on "intro to wine" books, and I thought this one was terrific. Reasonable size, sensible and humorous asides, helpful photographs, wide variety of topics (including fascinating information on starting your own cellar, glassware, food pairings, the "business" of wine, etc.), It arrived about ten minutes before I left the house for a three-hour flight to Phoenix, and I devoured it on the plane. You know how you go racing through something wonderful and informative to see what's next, and then go back and study it more carefully? (At least, I do.) This is the one I'm going back to with my notebook. Try it, you'll like it!

Summary: Neophyte enjoyed
Comment: As someone who recently graduated from the "cheapest on sale at the grocery" style of wine buying, I found this intro of real value. The overviews of regions, varietals, and other, more subtle nuances gave me a straightforward method of choosing wine whether in the grocery, a wine shop or a restaurant. I've enjoyed my choices more and paid less since reading this book.

Summary: Kept In My Kitchen
Comment: Essentials of Wine was a pleasure to read and is now kept in my kitchen for quick reference. This book refreshed my memory on information acquired from several wine tasting events and dining experiences. I was not interested in purchasing and wading through a tome. This book sparked my interest to try other wines and not rely on some of my old favorites. My dinner guests are enjoying the benefits of my explorations. Thanks Mr. Steiman!
