5 out of 5 stars A GREAT compilation about wines   August 28, 2007
 1 out of 2 found this review helpful

I came across this book during my search for a guide book on wines that would be both informative and visually friendly. In his updated 2007 edition, Zraly continues to provide a great wealth of information to anyone looking to learn more about wines -- from history, geographic/cultural origin, techniques, pairings, to recommendations on specific labels/wineries. The combination of factual information and recommendations of his favorites makes for a more interesting and engaging "wine course". Futhermore, the colorful pictures and the binding of the hardback make this for a great coffee table book.
Echoing the comments of other reviewers, I would like to reiterate that this is a perfect guide for beginners and a great compilation to have as part of any sommelier's collection.

This book is an excellent source for information for any wine drinker. It explains the world of wine much better and gives a general overview of all the most important wine making regions.


5 out of 5 stars Brilliant, easy to read   July 27, 2007
This is an awesome book for anyone really wanting to know all about wine. Answers any question you may have about every aspect of wine and the winemaking process.


5 out of 5 stars Twenty years and still a great book   June 27, 2007
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

I purchased my first copy of "Windows on the World" 20 years ago as it was the perfect introduction to wine book of its time. Zraly's basic approach in easing the novice through the pleasure of wine has made it the book I have recommended most often. I've probably given a dozen copies away over the years to friends who have expressed an interest in learning more about wine. Readers will be introduced to a good overview of the great wine regions of the world, the wine making process, pairing, proper stemware and more. A must buy.

5 out of 5 stars Best Wine Book Available!!   May 8, 2007
 3 out of 3 found this review helpful

This is by far the best wine book available. It's laid out much like a textbook and breaks up "chapters" into different "courses". Such as California White Wine, Red Wine of the Loire Valley, etc. Kevin also provides sections on how to taste wine, wine and food pairing, and throughout he gives his suggestions for the best wines from each area.

If you're interested in learning about wine, I truly believe that you need this book. Kevin Zraly is a wine master, and winner of the Wine Literary Award. Very few people in the world know more about the subject than he does.
