Synopsis

CHOOSE THE RIGHT WINE, EVERY TIME

- Fun approach to understanding wine, covering tastings, pairings, regions regions and more
- Makes learning easy, with infographics and bright, memorable visuals
- Foreword by Victoria James, Food & Wine's "Sommelier of the Year"

Do you love wine, but always buy bottles at random? Or are you afraid to branch out from the few types you know you like? Then this book is for you. It's a bright, bold, visual guide that cuts through the complexities of wine to focus on what the casual drinker needs to know.

You'll quickly figure out what you like, why you like it and how to describe that to other people, especially the clerk in your local wine shop.

You'll also discover wines you've (probably) never tried before, but definitely should, plus the best pairings, tasting tips and more, including:

· How to smell and taste wine like a pro
· What words like “acidic,” “tannic” and “dry” mean
· How to read a wine label (and what words to keep an eye out for)
· What a decanter is, and why you should use one
· What a “dessert” wine is

Featuring insights and advice from wine experts Adam Teeter (VinePair), Kevin Zraly (Windows on the World), Paul Grieco (Terroir), Yannick Benjamin (University Club), Rupal Shankar and sommelier Courtney Schiessl, Find Your Wine is a bright, informative and unpretentious introduction to the world of wine.

About the Author

Victoria James is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of contemporary romance.

Victoria always knew she wanted to be a writer and in grade five, she penned her first story, bound it (with staples and a cardboard cover) and did all the illustrations herself. Luckily, this book will never see the light of day again.

In high school she fell in love with historical romance and then contemporary romance. After graduating University with an English Literature degree, Victoria pursued a degree in Interior Design and then opened her own business. After her first child, Victoria knew it was time to fulfill her dream of writing romantic fiction.

Victoria is a hopeless romantic who is living her dream, penning happily-ever-after's for her characters in between managing kids and the family business. Writing on a laptop in the middle of the country in a rambling old Victorian house would be ideal, but she's quite content living in suburbia with her husband, their two young children, and very bad cat.
