wine06012 Xpress Reviews: Nonfiction | First Look at New Books, June 1, 2012In 1972, the New York Times became the first U.S. newspaper to publish a weekly column on wine. Through the ensuing years, America’s love affair with wine has grown, often under the influence of these articles. This new collection gathers 125 of the best pieces from this column and covers myriad topics: terminology to help beginners through their first wine tasting, choosing wine for the holidays (it directs readers to relax and stick with their budget), dessert wines, tours of wineries around the globe, wine and food pairings, wine history, and profiles of interesting players in the wine world, among others.
Verdict No need to be a wine connoisseur to enjoy this book. Written by 29 different authors, it reads like a good collection of short stories. This title is suitable for anyone wishing to learn more about wine but sophisticated enough for aficionados. A good choice for readers who want more information about the culture and context of wine consumption, delivered in an engaging format.—Jane Hebert, Mount Juliet, TN
