Great American Wine: The Wine Rebel's Manual Book

One of the most unique and enjoyable books on wine in the world from the perspective of a passionate promoter of America's great wines. Entertaining and educational. Cuts through the pretensions of the wine critic giant, Robert Parker, and his unrealistic 100-point wine-rating system, which is heavily biased towards French and other foreign wine. This book advocates balancing the trade scale between foreign and domestic wines, and includes chapters on health benefits of wine, proper wine etiquette, how wine is made, the history of wine, and features great wine-drinking destinations in the Northwest. There is even a chapter titled "How to Drink Wine and Still Go to Heaven." Filled with beautiful photographs, artwork and other illustrations. Truly an American wine book gem.
