Editorial Reviews: Book Description A tool box of wine skills that will serve you whether you're spending $5 or $50 on a bottle. Simply Wine establishes a foundation on which you can build a lifelong appreciation of wine. It takes the mystery out of some apparently complex aspects of wine, like prices, labels and shopping, and introduces you to some of the real mysteries, especially the mystery of place, that make wine a lifelong joy.

Customer Reviews: Lots of info, fun to read, no condescension October 7, 1999 6 out of 6 found this review helpful It's easy to find information about wine; dozens of books are available. But it would be hard to find one as practical, accessible, and fun to read as Simply Wine. Some reviews say it's an introduction for novices, which is true, but it offers more than that. Simply Wine is filled with tips about shopping strategies, choices, tastings, varietals, and labels. Yorkshire's conversational tone and sense of humor add to the book's appeal, and the graphics and format are designed to keep you turning the pages. I recommend it for anyone interested in wines. An everyman's (and woman's) guide to good wine. September 21, 1999 1 out of 1 found this review helpful Do you like drinking wine but feel intimidated by the culture of wine lovers? This is a great book for you--a straightforward, thoroughly unpretentious and honest book about a subject that's too often obscured by snobbery. An easy way to learn wine basics, and more! August 9, 1999 2 out of 2 found this review helpful I had already read Heidi Yorkshire's Wine Savvy, so I was skeptical about reading her newest book of wine basics, Simply Wine. I'm glad I did. Together, these books are a great basic wine education. They each stand up well on their own, too. Yorkshire's style is so friendly and accessible you forget you're reading about a topic where conversation is usually dominated by intimidating and sometimes snotty know-it-alls. I feel more prepared for my upcoming trip to France, but also for my next trip to the wine store.
