Let's face it. Wine can be intimidating. Whether in the wine shop or at dinner, the topic can be complex and sometimes frustrating. This brand new Complete Idiot's Guide sorts through all of the basics in an easy-to-understand fashion.
Tara Thomas has travelled the world in her writings and is here to help readers with a fresh, new approach to learning about wine. Starting with the nine most popular varietals (types of wine) - Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Riesling, Pinot Gris/Grigio, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Zinfandel, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz/Syrah - 'The Complete Idiot's Guide To Wine Basics' helps beginners understand the most basic rule: drink what you like.
Thomas teaches about the process, key terms, tips for tasting, advice on buying, and more. She also extensively covers wine regions including California and the Pacific NW, Australia, New Zealand, South America, South Africa, Italy, France, Spain, and more.
