The last word for wine lovers
-
With most stories about the indulgences of the 1%, here is a romp through the many faceted art of wine consumption. The author knows his wine and gives classes in the fine art of testing wines for their various bouquets and quality. His wines are not the Albertson or Safeway variety, but the rare wines from vintages only the very rich can afford. There are, however, lessons for the average wine drinker to glean as well. Oldman delivers his knowledge and experience in an entertaining way, avoiding the scholarly trap so many wine connoisseurs find themselves lured into when the wine tasting moment presents itself. A very well researched and polished book for anyone interested in wines…even those of the 99%.
