The Mere Mortal's Guide to Fine Dining: From Salad Forks to Sommeliers, How to Eat and Drink in Style Without ...

Oh My God. Turns Out I'm a Total Doofus...
I eat out frequently, on a lot of business dinners. I read about this book in a magazine and ordered it. A fun, fast read with easy-to-digest information about tipping, wine, becoming a "regular" at a restaurant (how to score perks), and... table manners. This is where my doofus-ness comes in. My napkin is supposed to be folded to the left of my plate (not on my chair) if I get up to pee? ...

enthusiast's dream
I was first introduced to Mr. Julyan's exciting syllabus through the Court of Master Sommelier's examination process. As both a student of wine and an educator in the hospitality sect, I have found his brief yet thorough writing to be an indispensable reference guide when educating my colleagues at both of my establishments. For the home enthusiast or even someone just curious about ...

Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis, Robert M. Cohen

Silverback Books, 2006

Wine Surfing
It is most helpful to recognize at the outset the rating system used by Fallis and Cohen and how they organized their book. Quality was first and foremost among the criteria for rating a wine. To test for quality, the "deductive taste process" was used which is also known as the systematic method. (The method is described in the beginning of the book.) This is the same method as used by the CIA ...

I love this book since 15 years ago!
If you know nothing about good food and wine, you better start reading this book. It gives you simple and easy to understand knowledge on food, wine and services. It is an excellent guide for someone who don't know how to read menu and how to order your meal in restaurant.

Andrea Immer

Broadway, 2000

A near perfect introduction to wine for beginning and experienced wine drinkers
Andrea Immer Robinson's Great Wine Made Simple (2005) succeeds brilliantly in making sense of the complex worlds of wine.

Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, 2003

Superlative introduction to the wonderful world of wine
I'm just beginning my real introduction to the world of wine. I say real, because I have been enjoying wine (red, mostly) for the better part of eighteen years. However, I have never gotten more serious than having a very limited knowledge of grapes and particular blends. For example, I knew of Cabernet Sauvignon, the regions of Bordeaux and Burgundy, Chardonnay, and eventually came to hear of ...

On Wine: A Master Sommelier and Master of Wine Tells All

Doug Frost

Rizzoli International Publications, 2002

reading and drinking--a match made in heaven!
With wine so "in" right now, it's hard to find books that get beyond the what-to-order-with-fish stage without being snooty. That's why Doug Frost is great--he knows EVERYTHING about wine, but he presents information in a way that is accessible and even fun. He even pokes some gentle fun at wine snobs. This book covers history, styles, tastes and aromas, regions, and, yes, what goes with food. ...

Dictionary of Wine Terminology In Italian (Dizionario Veronelli dei Termini del Vino)

Veronelli Editore, 2001

ITALIAN LANGUAGE BOOK. VERONELLI is Italy's best known publisher of wine guides (for Italian wines), but also guide books on Restaurants and Hotels in Italy. Because Veronelli's books are so respected and important and also because so many people travel to Italy and have a working knowledge of the language their Italian language books are now being offered outside of Italy.
