The New Wine Lover’s Companion by Ron Herbst, Sharon Tyler Herbst (Paperback)
A wine lover's best friend
Updated for 2010, this is an excellent reference book for wine lovers, or those who would like to learn more about wine.
It’s 720 pages cover terms in wine making, viticulture, countries and regions producing wine, grape varietals, tasting terms, wine styles and even provides phonetic pronunciation for many words (French grapes like Viognier* aren’t easy to pronounce for everyone).
The back section includes pages on decoding wine labels, wine serving techniques, serving and storing temperatures, glassware, a glossary and much more.
Very thorough, yet compact (5 x 7 x 1.5) and therefore, easy to carry with you. It fits it in my purse and travels with me almost everywhere. I highly recommend this book for your wine library, or as an inspiration to learn more about wine. It is an essential, handy, easy to use, wine reference tool.
