I don't always drink wine, but when I do... kidding. Really, though, my wife is the wine drinker in my family, but I was consistently compelled by this book. It isn't snobbish winespeak -- you learn about the grape, where it comes from and cool bits of info you won't hear from wine snobs. This almost feels like a travel guide, but about a wine/grape. Best part is, my wife likes a BIG wine -- and now I know what a "big wine" is, how to shop for it, how to drink it, how to understand its flavor profile, and how to impress my wife by making a smart buy on a good wine. A quick, fun read even if I'm not drinking. Would like to read more from this author in this series.

Sara Fasolino has such a breezy style and she makes me want to learn more about wine. Though I love wine, I do not consider myself a connoisseur by any measure and I am learning so much from this series.
The book is short, easy to digest and full of information from how to decipher a label to what foods go best with the tannins and flavors of Cabernet Sauvignon. (You'll even learn what tannin is, if you don't know.) A great book for someone who is curious wine and wants to educate himself or herself a bit more.

For someone relatively new to the world of wine, this book is an awesome resource. It breaks down everything you need to know about Cabernet Sauvignon in a quick and easily understandable way. The fact that it's an eBook is great too, since you can call it up whenever you need to answer a Cab-related question, no matter where you are.

I'm finally starting to understand wine! I just put "wine corkscrew" on my to do list. I want to run to the store and try to taste the differences between the different Cabernets. This book is a really great intro to Cabernet Sauvignon. I've always kept my distance from wine because there's so much to learn. But now I'm going to dive in.

As someone who knows a little bit about wine, but not too much, I thought this eBook was really helpful. Full of practical tips, it provided just the right amount of information. Wine can seem so complex, but I never felt overwhelmed. I can't wait to read the next books in this series!

My whole family is made up of wine drinkers and I never really know what they are talking about. Reading through an eBook like this definitely helped me feel a little more up to speed during family get togethers.
