Secrets of Wine Tasting: The Ultimate Guide To Learn Everything About Wine Tasting & Wine Pairing Paperback – September 20, 2015

Very good book on the subject of wine tasting. As someone who loves to try different types of wine this was a good read. The book covers the basics of wine tasting and how it involves the senses of sight, smell, and taste. I was a bit surprised to learn that an experienced wine taster can actually tell the age of a mine simply by its color and smell! My favorite part was the section that talked about the connection with food and wines and gives some great suggestions on what wines go with different kinds of food, such as see foods, beef and even casseroles. I would say this book is a good fit for anyone curious or interested in learning more about the subject.

So being a wine connoisseur myself, I drink, read, compare and over all love wine. My favorite is Pinotage, for lots of reasons - a proudly South African cultivar that was created by Abraham Izak Perold in 1925. As the book describes all the different types of wines and what food pairing goes well with so elegantly, I have to say that Pinotage was truly missed. Regardless a very insight book on wine and most things associated with it.

This book was more about general knowledge than tasting tips. Some good tidbits of information, and I liked the intro. Knocked off an extra star for all of the formatting/spelling errors.

Easy read easy to understand.

I love reading a range of boos and this is a topic that I am new to. There is alot to wine tasting and this book gives me a good idea for how to approach this school. Good value for the price.

If you don't know much about wine, like me, this book is for you. Very detailed and full of relevant information. The Author knows the topic and he really did a great job.

You'll learn a lot about Wine from this book. How to asses a Wine? Different types of Wine. Choose the right Wine for any occasion. Good read!

No secrets here

For "Ultimate' read very basic introduction. Few pages with big 'childs' book writing. Just a couple of tiny chapters at the end which actually talk about tasting - not exactly secrets !
