"Unlike most books on wine nowadays, Tales from the Wine Floor is geared toward true beginners-those who enjoy wine but lack the most basic understanding of it. This book offers an easy-to-digest crash course on wine and ready-reference written by a Sommelier. The author explains the intricacies of wine to the average Joe (or Joanne) in a way that is easy to understand and highly entertaining. Here is an easy reference Q&A based on real questions (often absurd or hysterically funny) asked by regular, wine-drinking people and the answers the author gives them in his job as "The Wine Guy." Among the questions and answers that comprise this book are: What are sulfites? Why does the same wine sometimes taste different? How do I order wine at a restaurant? How do I host a wine tasting at home? And, why is champagne served in a funny-shaped glass? Illustrated with amusing drawings by New Yorker cartoonist John O'Brien, novice wine enthusiasts will find Tales from the Wine Floor informative, easily accessible, and a delight to read"--
