Richard Betts is one of fewer than two hundred master sommeliers in the world but he's no wine
snob and he hates wine-speak. In the first book of its kind he helps readers scratch and sniff
their way to expertise by introducing the basic components of wine?the fruits the wood the
earth?enabling anyone to discover the difference between a Syrah and a Sangiovese and get the
glass they love every time. Humorously illustrated with 16 scents this irresistible gift puts
the fun back in wine fundamentals.
