With a stylish layout and packed content, it’s perfect for both casual readers and wine enthusiasts seeking to deepen their understanding. ## Description From the world-renowned sommelier Aldo Sohm, a dynamic, essential wine guide for a new generation Aldo Sohm is one of the most respected and widely lauded sommeliers in the world. He's worked with celebrated chef Eric Ripert as wine director of three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin for over a decade, yet his philosophy and approach to wine is much more casual. Aldo's debut book, Wine Simple, is full of confidence-building infographics and illustrations, an unbeatable depth of knowledge, effusive encouragement, and, most important, strong opinions on wine so you can learn to form your own. Imbued with Aldo's insatiable passion and eagerness to teach others, Wine Simple is accessible, deeply educational, and lively and fun, both in voice and visuals. This essential guide begins with the fundamentals of wine in easy-to-absorb hits of information and pragmatic, everyday tips--key varietals and winemaking regions, how to taste, when to save and when to splurge, and how to set up a wine tasting at home. Aldo then teaches you how to take your wine knowledge to the next level and evolve your palate, including techniques on building a " flavor library, " a cheat sheet to good (and great) vintages (and why you shouldn't put everything on the line for them), tips on troubleshooting tricky wines (corked? mousy?), and, for the daring, even how to saber a bottle of champagne. This visual, user-friendly approach will inspire readers to have the confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm to taste smarter, drink boldly, and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine. Review: Great book - I bought this as a Xmas gift for my husband. He thinks it is really good Review: Buy the book, not the Kindle version! - Great book & comprehensive introduction to wine & tasting. However, I bought the Kindle version which suffers from poor layout and you can't follow all the colour coded part (tasting wheel/maps etc). So I would definitely recommend buying the book instead. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 57,147 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 33 in Wine & Winemaking 51 in Food & Drink Encyclopaedias & Dictionaries 181 in Party Planning | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,788 Reviews | ## Images ![Wine Simple: A Very Approachable Guide from an Otherwise Serious Sommelier - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51bJU50J7GL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great book *by A***N on 6 January 2025* I bought this as a Xmas gift for my husband.
