I had no idea what I was doing and mostly just fumbled around in my local wine shop until I figured things out. I had an app that helped a little - Pocket Wine - but that mostly talked about various grape varieties. Mostly it helped to start keeping a wine journal (which I still do) and just keep learning. I'd like to see what this one has to say, even though I know a lot more now. I'm going to see if my library has a copy.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026099426503180472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-74663259663616579442017-04-08T14:21:04.707-04:002017-04-08T14:21:04.707-04:00I don't drink but I know a few people who woul...I don't drink but I know a few people who would love this book.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16974471357928655315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-15906223797015359682017-04-08T12:03:11.794-04:002017-04-08T12:03:11.794-04:00I'm going to look for this one, it sounds like...I'm going to look for this one, it sounds like a good reference on the subject.
