Description
This book is divided into two parts: Part One encourages the reader to think about tasting, and explores such ideas as balance, finish, aroma and tannin. It guides both new and experienced tasters through the many and various concepts behind wine-tasting. Part Two is a practical guide to developing expertise, including discussions on tasting glasses, keeping records and decanting wine. Illustrated with reminiscences from an earlier age of the wine trade, as well as suggestions for new thinking in the currently developing world of wine, this search for a logical base for wine-tasting will enhance the pleasure derived from wine by every reader.
