Customer Reviews: Read 10 more reviews... Above average book regarding food & wine pairing June 12, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This book is excellent if serving as a beginning entree to subject, but if you have already embarked upon this course of adventure you will probably find much of the path traveled to be familiar territory. The examples of dishes paired with several wines is interesting and serves as a useful frame of reference; however, if you are looking for variety of recipes for broad range of wines/varietals you may be disappointed. The Perfect Guide February 8, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I have found this book to be extremely helpful in making my wine choices. It is easy to read so a non-expert (like me) is not put off. In addition, I have given it out as a gift to a number of friends and family. We are all waiting for the second volume! Interesting history and interviews December 28, 2004 4 out of 6 found this review helpful Talk about a novice! I am counted among those who know nothing about wine except what I think is tasty - you might say I don't know my Syrah from my Reisling. I know that I've had a few delicious wines, and I swear I'm going to try to write down their names when I'm at a restaurant, but invariably forget. The Renaissance Guide is a helpful reference to a person like me as it contains guidance from real experts. I thought that the interviews captured both the personalities of the chefs and the knowledgeable authors, but also gave useful information - and they were fun to read. While to a true onephile, like the character in the movie "Sideways," this information might be considered basic, to most of us the primer on wines in the second chapter will be informative. And for the person who already knows wine, I'm certain that there are nuggets and ideas that they will enjoy. Finally! A book for the wine snob and the novice. December 26, 2004 5 out of 7 found this review helpful I got this book for my step-father the wine snob and he loves it. This is high praise coming from the man who hates most wine books and thinks he knows everything already. Added bonus- I love it too. Very helpful for a novice like myself, great writing and beautiful design. Highly recommended! A Perfect Gift December 21, 2004 4 out of 6 found this review helpful This book offers something many guides lack: context and a true passion for the topic. The rich history and current culture where food and wine pairings are developed, is delightfully described with rare energy and insight. This is an ideal gift item for those you know who love wine, or are curious to learn more.
