Do you enjoy wines and are beginning to appreciate the differences between different kinds but are intimidated to talk about it? This book is for you!In this book we'll introduce you to things far more important than the smell or bouquet of a wine. These are the things the weekend wine taster doesn't talk about. We'll explore the following: The grapes: how they play a crucial role in the flavor and character of a wine The location and climate: the impact of the sun, water, valleys, and hills on the grapes and the resulting wine The soil: why it matters and how it can affect the taste of a wine The process of planting, growing, and harvesting grapes: and how it all contributes to the final product The harvest, production, and bottling: the behind-the-scenes processes that can influence a wine's taste and quality The art of drinking and sharing wine: tips for fully experiencing and enjoying a glass with others With its conversational tone and absence of intimidating jargon, this book is easy to read and accessible for everyone who enjoys a glass of wine! You'll learn that there is no right answer when it comes to wines, that every opinion is valid. You'll actually enjoy every glass of wine more than before because you will appreciate the complexity and uniqueness of every single bottle. And, you'll be able to talk about it!
