If you have ever wanted to learn more about wine, or perhaps found yourself embarrassed that your conversational knowledge of the subject didn’t extend much past the bottle of Lambrusco you tried last Christmas, then this website, and its accompanying eBook ‘Secrets of Wine’ are your passport to oenological mastery!
When I bought my first books on wine and began to read, I was excited and really looking forward to learning the basics and how best to enjoy wine. However, my initial enthusiasm soon began to wane as I ploughed through the staggering amount of detail they contained. It wasn’t long before I began to lose the will to live…and eventually, I gave up.
Feeling let down and disappointed, I couldn’t stop thinking; why wasn’t I enjoying these books? I soon realised what the problem was – there was simply far too much information. Even when I tried just ‘dipping’ into the books to maintain my interest, it didn’t matter which topic I landed on – I was being overwhelmed with information. Yes, I wanted to learn the secrets of wine but I didn’t want a PhD in the subject and I didn’t want a genuine interest to turn into a hard slog!
What I really wanted was a book that simply ‘cut to the chase’. I wanted the fundamentals, the basics of wine so that I would be able to engage more confidently in discussions with my friends…and most of all, be able to choose and enjoy the right wine for the right occasion.
Well, I stuck at the task of learning as much as I could about every aspect of oenology (the science and study of wine and winemaking) even though there was no simplified layman’s resource available: I studied and cross referenced myriads of often confusing and contradictory information, I found the meanings of oft bandied but usually little understood terms, I personally sampled countless diverse wines, and finally wrote ‘Secrets of Wine’…distilling my many years of accumulated knowledge into the comprehensive guide to wine, which I wished had been available when I started out upon my journey.
It provides a comprehensive ‘A to Z’ of wine but in a clear, succinct and easy to read style. Flowery waffle and self-indulgent ramblings get the elbow! It is designed to be read in one sitting, time permitting (around 3 hours) and, thereafter, to provide an easy reference source to accompany your enjoyment of wine. In its eBook format, the ability to enter search terms (e.g. Bordeaux, Zinfandel, Napa Valley, fermentation, etc.) and then click ‘find’ means that you have the entire content instantly ‘at your fingertips’. What was the favorite strapline in ‘MAD’ magazine? “Go on – amaze your friends!” Well, when it comes to wine, you really can!
The expertise you gain from ‘Secrets of Wine’ will ensure that you consistently… Read more…
