Description

Actor and wine expert Julian Curry has devised a unique audiobook guide to wine. The whole subject is introduced and explained - how wine is made, the different grapes, the different blends, vintages, wine-growing areas and types. In an entertaining and informal style, he also teaches how to taste wine, how to choose it, to keep it. Other topics such as food and wine, fortified wines, champagnes and the New World experience are also covered. An outstanding audio-original from Naxos AudioBooks!

Reviews

AudioFile Magazine...
In vino veritas, the saying goes. But it may be as valuable to know the veritas of the vino, and Julian Curry makes it easy and entertaining to do just that. From cultivation to curmudgeonly quaffing, his recorded course moves easily along, accompanied by classical music breaks and a helpful booklet. While not everyone may need to know the right way to stomp a grape, it's never a bad idea to know how to deal with a snobby sommelier, store wine properly, and buy the perfect bottle at the perfect price. Never pedantic, A GUIDE TO WINE is a fine gift for yourself or any other wine lover. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2003, Portland, Maine
