a quick, basic guide for everyone who wants to know just enough about wine to enjoy it … "Dewey Markham’s book reinforces the simple pleasures a bottle of wine brings at the table with good food, good friends and family. He takes the mystery, which often alienates new wine drinkers, out of wine, while retaining the romance that makes wine unique." —Robert Mondavi from the Foreword In this light-hearted and intelligent reference, wine authority Dewey Markham gives you, faster than you ever thought possible, the confidence and knowledge to really enjoy choosing and drinking wine.

  • How to decipher the ten standard items of information on every wine label
  • A simple method for judging the quality of any wine
