On Wine

One of three people in the world holding both the titles of Master Sommelier and Master of Wine, Doug Frost here gives a straightforward approach to Wine. It is both a perfect introduction for novices and a resource for more experienced oenophiles. Among the many covered topics are: the history of wine and winemaking; understanding varietals; a survey of the world's wine-producing regions and their wines; and how to pair wine with food. The book also includes an extensive list of wine recommendations for all occasions, a listing of the author's choice of over 100 of the best wine producers and their best wines worldwide; suggested reading; and a glossary of winespeak. With over 125 beautiful illustrations, stunning color photography, and specially commissioned maps, this is destined to be the wine book of the year and the cornerstone of every wine lover's library.
