Reader's review:
It takes a lot of time to start learning what wine is all about!
It is a life long apprenticeship, you do 101 class; them the tasting classes adventures, here and there; then you learn wine styles,you test all of then including the not so disseminated like Madeira, Amontillado, Oloroso, Fino, LBV, etc.
Then you test the waters or better say the wines in pairing wine and food,
you buy all books and finally you touch it: flavors !
This is the book that consolidates all your knowledges.
Dont be afraid of Chemical terms, get the concept and enjoy your next romantic dinner. Schiffini, J. P. The Century Club co-founder.
