Summary: This was a great eye-opener for me
Review: I loved this book. It only took 3-4 hours to read, but I felt that I learned all I needed to know about wine to really begin learning from tasting. After reading this small book I feel that I understand what to look for in a glass of wine, and my appreciation of both food and wine is enhanced. I tried one of the recipes and my husband loved it! Good job!

Summary: I liked it
Review: If nothing else, now I know that rose is made from red grapes, but they take the skins out. If that seems too basic for you, then buy a more complicated book. But if you still unscrew the cap as often as you pop the cork, then there might be something in here for you.

Summary: Jump Start Your Enjoyment of Wine
Review: In less that than the time it took me to fly from Los Angeles to Houston, I doubled, if not tripled, my enjoyment of a glass of wine.

Benjamin Bloom, one of America's great educational psychologist explained long ago that one enjoys most what one knows. Mr. Hecht's slim, readable and entertaining overview delivers just enough knowledge to dramatically increase the pleasure of a glass of wine.

This little volume is filled with anecdotes and insights into the micro-environments that are best for various grapes, how the grapes are processed into wine, different types of wines, foods that complement those wines and more. Mr. Hecht, a retired attorney, delivers on his promise to provide an enjoyable reading experience that, in turn, provides many enjoyable wine-tasting experiences.

I can say that I enjoyed both the plane trip and the Merlot savored upon arrival in Houston.
