    In this book, the author takes you all over the world of wine, from Burgundy in France to Napa Valley to Chile and Australia. She did get a little wordy and technical at times but I learned a lot about how wine was made and it definitely made me want to try a real tasting some time. The last chapter gives recommendations for what types of wine to drink with different foods so that will be a great reference for me.

    I agree with the first review: excellent read for the wine novice. Natalie advocates a de-snobbing of the wine world as wine becomes globally more adventurous and incorporated.She only discovered wine at the ripe age of a college graduate, proving you are never too old to soak up an appreciation for wine and develop your own distinctive tastes and collection.

    I completely enjoyed this book, its made me feel very passionate about learning about wine. MacLean breaks it down so it doesn't get too technical but you still come away learning something. At least I did anyway.

    Excellent read for the REAL wine lover: This is the first book that I've read that actually makes it fun to
    learn about wine. It's relaxed and realistic for the wine novice.
    Natalie teaches about wine to those who want to enjoy it, not just look
    impressive ordering or drinking it.
    I retained more real world knowledge about wine reading this than I have reading the wine magazines and tomes.

    Natalie MacLean does a wonderful job of cramming a well-rounded wine course into a quick-paced memoir. She's brilliantly laid it out, starting with the most daunting of wine lessons - French terroir. But it's not a chapter about French terroir, it's simply a lovely romp through Burgundy with some of the bigger players in fine wine; nevermind that by the end of the chapter, you'll know more about various growth techniques, irrigation and cultivation for that is happenstance.MacLean is smart to start with the difficult and end where wine ultimately should be - in the compay of friends. An inspired chapter discusses the dinner party and she fully places the internal monologue every host has had with themselves - the worry, the planning, the plotting - prior to a party. At the forefront, wine is for sharing with friends. While there is discussion of wine futures and auctions, it's clear that Ms. MacLean, while finding the subject fascinating, is first and foremost one who loves wine because it is a good thing. By the end of the book, you'll be yearning to call your friends over to revel in the simplicity of good wine and food. (You'll also know quite a few tricks involved in acquiring really good wines without breaking the bank.)

    This is a really fun, accessible general book on wine. The author has great style and wit, and educates without condescending. It's entertaining to read, and I'm pretty sure I learned a lot about wine along the way, too! Recommended for wine lovers of all types!
