The Opening
"Let’s see, is it white wine with white meat, red wine with red meat? My boss is having salmon, our important new client is a vegetarian, and I’m ordering pork! And I’m expected to pick the wine! What am I supposed to do?"
Like the stressed-out person in this situation, you too may have come to the realization that you are clueless about wine. Relax, you are not alone. In fact, you are actually in the majority. Probably less than 3% of the world’s population know a lot about wine.
Most wine books and magazines seem to be written for people with some wine knowledge, or assume the reader is already a professional wine taster. That’s where we come in. We wrote Clueless about Wine to take the mystery out of wine and replace the intimidation factor with knowledge and enjoyment. Wine store clerks and sommeliers don’t have the monopoly on wine knowledge; everyone can learn about wine. It isn’t that difficult.
This book is packed with practical information, from the basics about how wine is made, to where it’s made and what it should taste like, to which wine goes with which food. We’ll also talk about what to buy, how to entertain with wine, how to keep wine, and even how to give it away. We’ve included a patented four-step program (okay, we didn’t really patent it but it sounds good) to help you taste wine like a professional. So turn the page, maybe pour yourself a glass of whatever wine you have, and get ready to learn the secrets of wine.
