Great Read and a great gift

I bought 2 of these books for our annual family wine tasting contest. We set a category (ie, Pinot Noir and Savignon Blanc) and then blind taste for Best Red and Best White. The books were a huge hit for our winners. I had heard about this event for many years but never actually read the details until this very interesting book. ESL Charleston,SC

Beginners and seasoned onophyles will love this book

The best part about the great "Double Blind Tasting" is not that we won, or even better, we won twice, the joy is the well written account by someone who was there, knew the 'players' and saw first hand the tastings. There is so much information packed into this very readable book, that no matter what your level of wine experience, you will learn somthing new, that will give added pleasure to your wine experiences.

Fun reading for wine lovers.

Mr. Taber writes in a very personal manner. He writes so that you are caught up in an almost novelesque approach to this exciting story. The characters he writes about come to life in a way that most of us would never get to see or understand.

Hard to put this one down, an excellent read.
