About the Author
Stuart Walton writes on wine for BBC magazines, Wine magazine, and The European. His interest in the subject began when he co-founded a tasting circle at home and went on to pass the Wine & Spirit Education Trust examinations. Having travelled extensively in wine regions, he views developments in the modern wine world with a sharply critical eye and, in order to preserve his independence of judgement, has no commercial interest in the wine trade.
From Booklist
Walton's colorfully illustrated primer begins with fundamentals of tasting, storing, and selecting appropriate wines to accompany culinary fare. A section on grape varieties follows, divided by country of origin. The spirited text rings with descriptive phrases, from succinct remarks ("cool-ripening") to exuberantly detailed ones ("big, rich, upfront, some savory herb character and good weight"). Encyclopedic listings provide easy access to wine-producing countries, with alluring photography and illustrations of maps and labels contributing to explanations of wine characteristics in highlighted regions. Walton can strike the perfect note of brevity; he likens Merlot to "Cabernet without tears," because the wine does not require aging. His instructive commentary should delight readers seeking a greater depth of knowledge. Alice Joyce
