Great Fine Wine
Burgundy for kings, champagne for duchesses, claret for gentlemen.
Unpretentious, delicious, fun This is a great book with excellent musical selections from a wide range of genres and time periods, and drinks that are delicious and simple--much better than the drinks I usually make, but no over-the-top requirements for expensive, hard-to-find ingredients or brands. Fun coffee table book for guests to flip through, too, full of dynamic graphic design and color. Johnny Cash page suggests "Suffering Bastard" and "Stone Fence," both of which are tasty and on the mark! Would...

progression to destruction In classic movie, the acting and music and the story show the progression of alcoholism. It shows how two people innocently go about life and before they know it, they are in the grips of the disease. I like the depiction of how the disease of alcoholism took over Kirsten's life. She didn't even want to drink and did just to join in and to please her husband. In a short time, she was out of control. He had been working on it for years. Alcoholics always progress, but not at the same rate...
This book is written by a German, Jens Priewe, and translated into English by Alan Paddle. The translation is so fluid, one would think it was written originally in English. This is a work of scholarship by a wine lover who covers virtually all aspects of wine making and wine appreciation. I have nine books on wine, but this is by far the best.This book will not tell you which wine to buy, but how to understand, appreciate and select wines for your own enjoyment. You will learn...
Hooray for a complete story Nicely written, this book grabbed me from the beginning. The World Building was great, and the characters were appealing. I read it straight through to the satisfying ending. And although I see that there is a Book 2, this book did have an ending. I've almost forgotten what that was like.The whole idea of various different types of witches, including Vine Witches, was intriguing. Yes, there were other Supernaturals included, but the Vine (Wine) witches were the focus. The...
The truth is probably somewhere in between First, this book is very interesting and seems well researched. Throughout, however, it is pretty well slanted against Ernest and Julio Gallo and leans more toward support of their younger brother, Joseph. However, this is not to say that the book is primarily about the rift (and legal battle) between E&J and their younger brother Joseph over the use of the tradename "Gallo"--it is not. For the most part it is a good history and biography of the brothers, their ancestry and especially their...
You've been here....read your way back! That would take an entire page! Absolutely one of my favorite reads. Now reading it again with my adult grandson (who lives in Europe)....on very long distance calls of over 2 hours.....we read paragraphs back and forth...relate our own "Dandelion WIne" summers. Now we're writing our experiences out and placing the pages between the pages that "take us back"....he is so taken by the story ...he has to continually stop reading because his own memory kicks in....as does...
I love this wine book. First, on the inside of the front cover you can write your name and email. I have been known to inadvertently leave tasting notes after a couple bottles of wine - so I love the pertinent information section. It has a start date and an end date. I covered up some personal information in the picture of the notes page but you can see how easy it is to organize your notes about the wine. There is a note page and then a page that follows where you can remove and tape pictures...
