Maybe you are brand new to wine, or maybe you‘ve been drinking for years and have just decided that it‘s time to step up your know-how. Either way, I’m glad you’re here, and the first thing I want to do is give you a big warm welcome into the wine world. It’s exciting and delicious—you are in for a treat.
As I see it, my job is to empower you with meaningful wine information (the stuff you’re going to actually use) and to encourage you to feed your passion for learning about wine, so that it far outlasts this book. We begin with a little pregame prep; the first chapter lays out my plan for how to approach the enormity of the subject, and essential first steps to get started.
