All too often the wine lover is fed information from a taster rather than from his own palate because the tools necessary, the how-tos of tasting itself, arent` readily available. Sure, we all know what we like and dislike, but the world of wine, once it is opened up, is a wonderous and varied one. What is needed to capture the full breadth of wine is a knowledge of how to read your own senses and an understanding of what factors determine your preferences.
Winetaster`s Secrets focuses on this very facet of wine.
Step-by-step this book reveals how it`s done; how the experts, and now you, can determine and evaluate wine quality. It does son in a manner that neither simplifies or complicates the subject. The object is threefold:
- to encourage the reader to expand the use of his/her natural senses, increasing the enjoyment of all wines
- to help develop the ability to judge consistently and accurately the quality of a wide array of wines, independent of the tastes of others
- to foster appreciation of the differences in qualitative and nonqualitative wine characteristics.
In addition, Winetaster`s Secrets addresses the issues that have often been avoided in previous publications, including:
- age in the taster and the wine
- burnt wine - brandy
- how to taste it and judge it
- a chilling experience
- ice wine
- tasting techniques
- scoring systems, how they work and which systems work better than others.
The result is a precise, enjoyable book.
