“Wine by the Rules and Without” is not another book in the spirit of “drink this, don’t drink that.” Here you won’t find long explanations about varieties and regions. You won’t learn how to open champagne with a saber or how to blindly identify red Burgundy. But you will learn what to ask a sommelier in a restaurant or a consultant in a store—how to open wine like a pro, where and how much to pour, and you’ll get an unusual answer to the question: “What should I drink with what I’m eating?” From learning the basics to buying wine for parties: this book contains everything you need to learn how to get the maximum pleasure from wine.
