Run, don’t walk to get “Snob Free Wine Tasting Companion.”
This is an entertaining book that’s easy to read and full of important information that really educates you about all aspects of wine! I’m buying 10 more books to give to friends. What a great gift to bring to a party with your favorite bottle of wine…

A delightful read in plain speak and long overdue. When first learning to love wine, “snob speak” got in the way of my enjoyment. This book is an easy, pleasant and fun read, which gives me even more pleasure in wine sipping. Also loved revisiting the Napa Valley through Andy’s eyes.
