Review # 1 was written on 2009-01-05 00:00:00 Paul Mann I read this in a wine class I took. If you are interested in wine and want to read an informative book that isn't snobby, you will like this book. I learned so much and it's explained in a semi-sarcastic way with illustrations and in a tone for folks who are interested in this culture but are but are not condescending.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-08-10 00:00:00 Joe Silva I picked up Fear of Wine on the having-something-to-read principle. It wouldn't be my first choice in wine books (indeed, Christina got me a wine book that I've been enjoying). But it's nice to pick up a few tips (like the difference between the Wine Spectator and the Wine Advocate) from different sources. This book went into a little bit too much detail about the different regions (in that way, it might work better as a reference work), but it had a lot of stuff I was glad to read.
