About this title

Synopsis

"Windows on the World Complete Wine Course" is simply the bestselling wine book in the United States - it's a classic. This new edition contains an additional 16 wonderful pages, including a featured supplement about the olfactory system and how it deepens our enjoyment of wine. Written in a question-and-answer format, the section is co-authored with Wendy Dubit, an expert on the subject. Plus, this unequalled volume retains all the invaluable information, fabulous illustrations and gorgeous styling of the 20th anniversary edition. Wine lovers will still thrill to Zraly's inimitable, irreverent style. As always, he answers every question about wine; offers the most up-to-date recommendations; provides advice on buying wine in stores and on the Internet; takes you on a country-by-country, region-by-region ratings tour of the latest vintages and starts you on your way to becoming a wine connoisseur. Abundant full-color labels and maps complete the enticing picture. More current, more informative, more concise and precise than ever, this remains the wine guide against which all others are judged.
