Add a CommentThis is a great reference book or addition to a wine lover's library. It doesn't teach you about wine (for that, I recommend Kevin Zraly's course book). Rather, it's more like a collection of cheat sheets for every grape and region as well as tasting fundamentals. It's clever, it's concise and it's easy to follow.
The use of infographics to describe and explain wine makes this an attractive format for newbies to learn about wine. It's also useful for oenophiles who want to supplement what they know. If you plan to pursue wines as a personal interest, this might be a useful purchase for your personal library.
