Understanding wine is like understanding music: there are always
new discoveries to be made. In music there are so many genres, and
within each of these genres there are thousands of different
branches that each take you in a different direction. Wine is the
same.
The good news is that I have no interest in making you a Master of
Wine – this is not that book. In fact, there is no book in existence
that could do that. Training to the highest levels of wine
appreciation takes years of study and there are only a very small
handful of people in the world who have reached those heights. Full
disclosure: I am not one of them. Who I am is someone who loves
wine and knows enough about it to make confident choices that
mostly pay off. And that’s what this book is about: choices. I can’t
tell you which bottles of wine you will love – our tastes may be
completely different – but I can give you the knowledge and
information that YOU need to help YOU identify what YOU are
looking for in a glass of wine.
Though I love wine, there is a snobbery around it that I can’t stand.
Over the centuries a mythology has built up that can feel impossible
to navigate – there are rules. Perhaps it’s because I’m French, but
I’ve never been much of a rule follower, so while I will lay them out
in this book, I will also tell you why they don’t matter. After all, it’s
only a drink. And in life we can and should do whatever we like!
