Description:
There's a perfect wine for every occasion, but who knows which to pick from the many available? The choices are endless -- but which wines are best for a family barbecue? A formal dinner party? A quiet evening with friends? It's easy to be confused by styles and vintages, Old World and New, French, German, Italian, California, and New York State, whites and reds. And there must be tricks to understanding a restaurant wine list and the proper way to serve and store wine. The Unofficial Guide to Selecting Wine discusses:
-- Tasting wine -- and what should wine taste like, anyway?
-- Reading and understanding labels
-- Differences among non-vintage, vintage, and top-of-the-line champagnes
-- Buying wine online and at auction
-- Labels and vintages to most impress guests
-- Avoiding restaurant and wine merchant mark-ups
