The Wall Street Journal Guide to Wine

The authors of the Wall Street Journal's hugely popular Tastings column share everything you need to know about buying, drinking, and enjoying wine, including their Dow Jones Index of 300 good values. With a friendly style that is never intimidating or condescending, Gaiter and Brecher provide straight talk for consumers who don't want to be scammed in wine shops but do want to get maximum enjoyment from the abundance of wines available today. Now The WallStreet JournalGuide to Wine offers a complete resource, covering 30 major wine categories in-depth. From the classics to the hot wines of the moment, an index of recommendations follows each chapter. Whether you're seeking a good Pinot Noir for under 30 or a spare-no-expense French Champagne, you'll find accessible descriptions in all price ranges. Also discussing every detail of wine shopping and etiquette, along with little-known practical tips (What 12 basic bottles should you have on hand at all times? How long should you keep that Bordeaux?), The Wall Street Journal Guide to Wine will be the toast of wine lovers everywhere.
