Rebecca H.: We love this book. My husband and I both have enjoyed wine for years but wanted to dig deeper. This book has been instrumental in our education on wine. It is perfect at making tasting accessible for everyone, breaking it down into easy to understand general rules of thumb and with clearly laid out graphics and text. We have learned how to distinguish between varietals and regions and also are able to compare same varietals against each other. Truly wonderful. Our copy is well thumbed through and dog-eared, a sign of true love.

HShep0720: Great book for improving wine knowledge.

Adam Churvis: I want you to understand where this comes from. I have been studying cuisine and food science for almost thirty years now, I have studied wine formally and participated in hundreds of tastings, I keep a small 400-bottle cellar, and I had served as an Officier of the
Société Mondiale du Vin for a few years. My library of wine-related books contains only those which contain significant, actionable information not available elsewhere. I have taken my pursuit of wine and food pairing knowledge to the molecular level through the works of François Chartier, the founder of Molecular Sommellerie. On the data presentation side, I am a big fan of Edward R. Tufte, I have attended his seminar on Presenting Data and Information, and I have read all his books. This has taught me to despise pretty infographics that don’t communicate salient information. And so you will hopefully take my review at full weight.

That said, I cannot recommend Wine Folly too highly because it is, quite literally, a virtually perfect book. I took a good bit of time to go all the way through every detail of the book so that I could write a properly detailed review, and also to try my very best to find...

It is for experienced wine connoisseurs and newbies alike. And it exceeds expectations in every way - it did for me at least!

My initial, irrational fear:

When I opened the box from Amazon and picked up the book, I wanted so much, probably more than most, for this book to be unbelievably awesome. Well, before opening the book, I was suddenly convinced there would be far too much information for me to ever get through without being completely overwhelmed, or bored to tears...and the book isn't even particularly long!

Remember, I said "irrational" fear.

While it may be irrational, there are probably a lot of people that feel the same way, or have similar preconceived notions, about a book on wine. You might be nodding your head right now. So, I immediately resolved to flip through every page, purely out of respect for the amount of time and effort that was put into this book. To my surprise, I made it through the entire book in 15...
