Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. If you love wine, this book will give you all the knowledge and self-confidence you need to become a world-class wine taster. It reveals in methodical steps exactly how to acquire essential wine-tasting skills. Cees (its pronounced Case) van Casteren is a brilliant scientist, author, and international wine competition judge, as well as one of the global super-elite (less than 500 top experts worldwide) who have been able to earn the supreme title, Master of Wine.Anyone Can Taste Wine first appeared in Dutch and instantly established itself in the Netherlands as far and away the most authoritative and popular book on the subject.From the books introductory chapter:Many people typically believe that the ability to taste comes from some kind of inborn, innate aptitudeas though taste were a genetic hand-me-downsomething that you either have, or you dont have. But thats not true.Wine tasting is a skill. Anyone can taste wine, as long as they have normally functioning senses of smell and taste. Anyone (that is) who is motivated to learn and practicea lotcan become a good wine taster. Genes or no genes.Much of this skill will involve awareness of how to train your senses. While there are genetic differences between humans in terms of smelling and tasting, these innate differences do not make one taster better than another. Research by taste professor Linda Bartoshuk, previously at the University of Yale, has shown that a wine tasters ability to taste is mainly due to the amount of training that the taster has experienced. Specifically, exercises dedicated to recognizing wine scents and developing an attendant wine language are the main contributing factors in developing wine tasting abilities. The difficulty that most besets inexperienced tasters is a lack of suitable vocabulary that would enable them to name and describe the flavors and scents that they taste and smell. This vital skill, being able to describe flavors and aromas in words, remains a common problem, even for the most experienced of wine tasters. According to Professor Tim Jacob of Cardiff University, a method that will enable you to associate smells and flavors with a suitable repertoire of words will contribute greatly to the enhancement of tasting skills . . . that is . . . you just need a method. The more user-friendly, the easier it will be to learn and remember.And thats exactly what I realized at the start of my Master of Wine studies. The method had to be user-friendly in order to help me to remember all relevant aspects for tasting, describing, and analyzing the wine. In search of these aspects, I started with . . . the wine itself. With this fascinating blend of water (colorless, odorless, tasteless), alcohol (colorless, odorless, slightly sweet), acids, sugars, pigments, aromas, and tannins which together give wine its color, smell, and taste.And I was quite quick to learn that this very curious and complex combination of color, aromas, alcohol, acids, sugars and tannins actually were the relevant aspects I was looking for, and therefore the targets of my attention while developing a method. The answer to my quest was indeed in the wine itself! Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Hardcover. Condition: As New. First Edition. Het wijnschap is een intimiderende plek. Hoe kies je nou de wijn die bij je past? En waarom kunnen we niet gewoon een wijn kiezen zoals een ijsje in de Italiaanse ijssalon: op smaak? Met dit boek kan dat. Van wel zestig smaken kun je zien in welke wijn ze voorkomen - en omgekeerd. Anderen kiezen liever op stijl. Voor een feestje zoeken ze easy going wijnen die iedereen lekker vindt en die bij veel hapjes combineren. Ook die vind je in De smaak te pakken. Bovendien is dit boek een steuntje in de rug voor iedereen die graag nieuwe wijnen zou proberen, maar niet goed durft. De smaak van iets te pakken krijgen, betekent er plezier in krijgen. Plezier in wijn. Dat is precies de bedoeling van dit rijk geïllustreerde boek. Cees van Casteren is tweevoudig Vinoloog van het Jaar en hoofdredacteur voor de supplementen van Perswijn. Zijn artikelen zijn gepubliceerd in diverse dagbladen en tijdschriften. Hubrecht Duijker over De smaak te pakken: 'Dit is een rijk boek. Of beter gezegd: een uitgave waarmee iedere wijnliefhebber zijn of haar kennis op smakelijke wijze kan verrijken, snel en doeltreffend.'.…

Softcover. Condition: As New. First Edition. Piet van der Molen is een kinderloze vrijgezel die nooit heeft gewerkt en altijd thuis is blijven wonen, in het Zuid-Limburgse dorp Oirsbeek. Broers of zussen heeft hij niet. Na de dood van zijn vader verlangt moeder dat Piet diens plaats inneemt. Als moeder in de snikhete zomer van 2013 overlijdt, besluit Piet haar in huis te houden. Hij blijft gesprekken met haar voeren, zijn verdriet is groot. Tweeënhalf jaar later staan er twee agenten bij hem op de stoep. Een paar uur later kijkt de straat toe hoe mensen in witte pakken een gammele kist naar buiten takelen. Gegrepen door dit voorval reist Joris van Casteren naar Oirsbeek af. Tussen Piet en hem ontstaat een wonderlijke vriendschap. Moeders lichaam, geschreven in Van Casterens door verwondering en droge humor gekenmerkte stijl, is een onthutsend verhaal over liefde, dood, trouw en bedrog. Tevens is het de kroniek van een kwijnend dorpsleven in een krimpregio, waar gemeenschapszin en sociale controle niet langer vanzelfsprekend zijn.…
