DOWNLOAD EBOOK"With Catherine Fallis’s approach of ‘less is more,’ all you need to begin your wine journey are ten grapes." —Kevin Zraly It’s easy (or easier) to become a wine expert when you narrow the field down to ten grapes. For the wine drinker who loves Pinot Noir but doesn’t know what to try next, wants a French Chardonnay but isn’t sure what to look for on the bottle, or needs a little support before they open the wine menu at lunch with a client, Master Sommelier Catherine Fallis’s authoritative but inviting introduction to wine is an indispensable guide. Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel make the cut. The book covers the basics of tasting (and why wines taste the way they do), buying, and pairing wine. Fallis gives readers tricks to remember the difference between the côtes of Burgundy, offers dozens of specific recommendations in every price range, provides tips for talking to sommeliers, and shares memorable tasting exercises. This book will help readers build their wine confidence whether they’re looking for an inexpensive bottle for dinner at home or trying to impress the in- laws.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKHosting a wine tasting party is an excellent way to celebrate good news or to simply catch up with good friends especially around the holidays. Who doesn't love fine wine and good conversation? Below are some ideas for taking your party to the next level: If you really want to liven things up, a blind tasting makes for an interesting event. For a blind tasting, you'll need numbered bottle covers or labels to hide the wine's identity. Using score cards similar to that below, ask guests to score the wines on: 1.Appearance -- clarity, depth of color, liveliness (vivid or dull) 2.Aroma (bouquet)-- fruity, nutty, earthy, floral, etc. Swirl the glass to aerate the wine then take a big sniff. If the wine is inviting based upon its bouquet, the pleasure of its taste will only be enhanced. 3.Body -- light, medium or full-bodied. The body of the wine refers to its weight in your mouth. 4.Taste -- sweet, acidic, or bitter (tannin). Take a medium sip and swirl the wine around in your mouth. Carefully drawing in air while sipping aerates the wine as well. 5.Finish -- finish is the impression that a wine leaves in your mouth after you have swallowed it. The longer the finish, the better the quality of the wine. A great wine, as opposed to a good wine, always has a pronounced, lingering, well balanced finish
