A leading wine educator from the esteemed Culinary Institute of America offers this engaging, in-depth introduction to the often intimidating world of wine. Brian H. Smith has distilled his
years of experience into this beautifully illustrated, streamlined guide to oenology. His goal is twofold: to provide a basic text for aspiring wine professionals; and to give wine lovers the
confidence and savvy to navigate the wine list in a restaurant or the aisles of the local wine store. The Sommelier's Guide to Wine is an insider's tour of the making, tasting, selecting, and
serving of wine. It takes readers from grape types and wine-making methods through buying, ordering and presenting all varieties of wine. It is an invaluable tool for becoming a great wine
waiter - or a smart consumer.
