The Evaluation of Wine

About the Book

Wine is a creative work of art that requires a measure of skill and knowledge to be fully appreciated. This book will provide you with the expertise necessary to evaluate and fully enjoy a wine. It is designed for individuals who are seriously interested in becoming competent wine tasters. This is a unique book. There is not another book in the marketplace that will furnish you with such an extensive spectrum of information regarding the art of wine tasting.

After reading this book you will discover a new way to envision wine—one that utilizes your senses of sight, taste, smell, and feel. You will be able to evaluate a wine on its merits rather than relying on pure sybaritic sentiments. This new insight into the artistry of wine will bring you great satisfaction and many hours of pleasure, and wine will become an important part of your life.

A chapter dealing with matching wine with food will show you how simple it is to make wine-food pairings once you have a solid understanding about the nature of wine.
