Cellaring Wine: Managing Your Wine Collection...to Perfection
You could learn a lot from this book if you really used it as a coursebook. I just did some skimming and still picked up a few things.
Relevant to me (a big Riesling fan) is some info on German wines:
Tafelwein: "table wine", lowest designation of German wine
Qualitatswein: "quality wine" can be QbA (from one of the 13 regions) or Praedikatswein (quality wine with distinction, the good stuff, no sugar added!)
Praedikatswein breaks down further:
Kabinett - light semi-dry wines
Spatlese - "late picking" medium-style more body and intense flavor
Auslese "out picked" ripe grapes selectively chosen, medium to fuller wine
Beerenauslese - "berries out picking" grapes picked individually for rich desert wines
Trockenbeerenauslese - from dried grapes comes rich, sweet honeylike (and expensive) wine
Look for four top regions: Mosel-Saar-Ruwer, Rheinhessen, Rhinegau, Pfalz
Look for good years: 2001* 2002* 2003* 2004* 2005** 2006 2007
*exceptional **extraordinary vintage!
I'm a long way from being a wine snob, but if that's your goal, this book would certainly help you.
