More than 250 full-color photographs, maps, and charts beautifully complement Simon's effervescent approach to the fascinating world of wine, and help to dispel the mystique that so often surrounds the subject. This material provides crucial hints that will help you to become a wine aficionado -- virtually overnight. You will learn how to taste and judge wine like an expert, correctly match food and wine, follow the newest guidelines for serving and storing your wines, discern classic wines from those that emulate them, understand the importance and role of grapes, know when a particular wine is ready to drink. In addition to demystifying wine, the author explores famous vineyards and explains how the winemakers use grapes to their most delicious advantage. And after a concise but thorough roundup of today's wine styles, Simon conducts a tour through the wine regions of the world -- from Chianti to Coonawarra, from Médoc to Moldova, and everywhere in between. As entertaining as it is informative, this book is destined to remain the definitive beginner's guide to wine.
