A Year of Plenty
I generally do not purchase wine buying guides, though there are exceptions. While at my local bookstore, I skimmed through a new buying guide that actually peaked my interest. That was primarily because it was far more than just a buying guide, more than just a dry recitation of recommended wines. So I bought the book and eagerly devoured it in its entirety the next day. I previously reviewed ...

Psychology + Methods = a winning combination!

The author's unique approach was to combine traders' psychology with different types of trading; this book showed me ...
