Definitely a "Wine Class" June 1, 2008
I really learned a lot from this course. It is a little more involved than I thought it would be, but easy to follow. The writer knows his stuff. The pictures are beautiful and the information is presented in a way even a novice can understand. I only wish that there were more actual wine recommendations and food pairings. Love this one!

best way to learn about wine.. May 2, 2008
I have an older edition of this book. To learn about wines, one needs to research them. In this book, everything is broken down into sections and is easy to learn (also it is very entertaining to read).

Outstanding book on wine! April 28, 2008
Great book with an easy to follow format. Takes you through the various wine regions of the world in a format that follows the well-known Windows on the World wine class. I especially like the 'great' and 'exceptional' vintage information he puts into each section; this is very useful when you are scanning a wine list full of unfamilar names and is worth the price of the book itself! Great book, good price, buy it.

Informing the casual wine drinker April 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

I bought this book in search of basic information about the wines of the world, the various grapes, regional distinctions and recommendations for all the categories. This book does not disappoint in that regard. I have no complaints at all about any of the information in the book--every bit of it was helpful. However, I would like to have seen more information about wines from the various regions of the U.S. (I live in North Carolina where we have quite a few vinyards, but my state wasn't even mentioned) other than the West and NY State. Also, after reading the book I realized I'd do well to make up some index cards listing categories and recommendations according to regions, so I could have something handy to go with me to the wine shop when I wanted to try something new. I think that a wonderful addition to this book would be some tear-out "cheat sheets" to carry in one's pocket or purse. However, for an at-home reference, this book is excellent.

Great introduction to wine March 24, 2008
This book is very informativ and fun to read. Zraly gives an easy to comprehend introduction to wine and recommends characteristic wines in each chapter for tasting, making this book a perfect "travel guide" through the world of wine.
