All one needs is willing friends and a few rules to create a successful wine club. Petrosky (Cocktail Club) gives readers a list of to-dos for starting a wine club from setup logistics to invitations and glassware. Her tone is welcoming and friendly (no wine snobs here), and the only requirement is that one is willing to try all the wines and have fun. Each month, a separate varietal is introduced with a crash course in history, type, and region. Also included are expected flavors, aroma, taste, body, finish, and tips like wine lingo and prices. Chapters are rounded out with complementary recipes to make the evening and hosting a snap. This all-in-one entertaining guide will be a big hit with readers looking for a fun way to connect with friends and wine, and with plenty of laid-back learning, this will be a popular choice for folks just dabbling in vino.
VERDICT No need to be intimated by wine tasting, Petrosky delivers a fun and easy introduction that will have friends clamoring to start a wine club in this updated edition of her 2005 book.
