Born into a wine-making family, certified wine specialist Meyer has blogged for years on the topic and now offers a book sharing her unintimidating explanations and simple sketches. She devotes the short chapters to stemware options, food pairings, and notes on terroir, with line drawings of wine glasses, regions, and press styles. Novice and intermediate-level wine buffs alike will appreciate the guidance on serving, tasting, and collecting. Philosophies of viticulture, a glossary, and tips for dealing with wine stains and hangovers are welcome extras.
VERDICT An accessible and friendly reference for beginning oenophiles.
