It doesn’t contain everything, just the really important stuff: the truly key wines, grapes, regions; tips about wine buying, aging, and storage; and useful explanations about tasting notes and whether or not vintages really matter. In short, this book covers the real absolutes that you need to know about wine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith the pithy wit that readers of her columns have come to expect, Lettie Teague breaks down the stumbling blocks that often intimidate us and clears up the myths that cloud our understanding. A series of mini-essays cover the essentials in a fun, omnibus fashion. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe tone is sometimes irreverent, sometimes opinionated, but always practical. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eFor instance, there are entries such as \"The Unbearable Oakiness of Being,\" \"Can Wedding Wine Be Good,\" and \"Why You Really Need Only One Glass.\" Other entries may provoke some lively debate, such as \"Men Are from Cab, Women Are from Moscato\" and \"In Defense of Wine Snobs.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe opposite of a didactic textbook, this volume is not meant to be read from start to finish. Instead, like wine itself, it encourages small contemplative sips. It is a companion for the modern taster, a concise and curated collection of tidbits to satisfy anyone with a lively curiosity and palate.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Outlet","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47735937630466,"sku":null,"price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0064\/0463\/6790\/files\/81mX3t80nfL._SL1500.jpg?v=1778093618","url":"https:\/\/omnivorebooks.myshopify.com\/products\/wine-in-words-notes-for-better-drinking-lettie-teague","provider":"Omnivore Books on Food","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
