"Their premise - that food lovers know flavor and therefore
have the chops to understand, discover, and choose great wines to
go with their meals - allows the authors to leave behind confusing
wine statistics, vintages, critical wine scores, and tongue-tying
wine classifications. Instead, they enliven their wine
story-telling by going straight to the country''s foremost
sommeliers for food and wine pairing guidance." Fine

內容簡介:
A wine book unlike any other, THE FOOD LOVER''S GUIDE TO WINE
offers a fresh perspective via the single aspect of wine most
compelling to food lovers: flavor.
At the heart of this indispensable reference, formatted like the
authors'' two previous bestsellers The Flavor Bible and
What to Drink with What You Eat, is an encyclopedic A-to-Z
guide profiling hundreds of different wines by their essential
characteristics-from body and intensity to distinguishing flavors,
from suggested serving temperatures and ideal food pairings to
recommended producers including many iconic examples. The book
provides illuminating insights from dozens of America''s best
sommeliers via informative sidebars, charts and boxes, which
complement the book''s gorgeous four-color photography. Another
groundbreaking work from two of the ultimate culinary insiders,
this instant classic is the perfect gift book.
