Description
Like a full of life course from an expert teacher, The Wine Bible grounds the reader deeply in the fundamentals whilst layering on informative asides, tips, amusing anecdotes, definitions, glossaries, photos (all new for this edition), maps, labels, and beneficial bottles. Karen MacNeil’s information comes directly through primary research; for this second edition she has tasted more than 10,000 wines and visited dozens of wine regions world wide. New to the book are wines of China, Japan, Mexico, and Slovenia. And through it all of the reader becomes ever more informed—and, as a result of the creator’s unique voice, all the time entertained: “In great years Pétrus is ravishing, elegant, and rich—Ingrid Bergman in red satin.” Or, describing a Riesling: “A laser beam. A sheet of ice. A great crackling bolt of lightning.”
