From the world-renowned sommelier Aldo Sohm, a dynamic, essential wine guide for a new generation

NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FOOD52

Aldo Sohm is one of the most respected and widely lauded sommeliers in the world. He's worked with celebrated chef Eric Ripert as wine director of three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin for over a decade, yet his philosophy and approach to wine is much more casual. Aldo's debut book, Wine Simple, is full of confidence-building infographics and illustrations, an unbeatable depth of knowledge, effusive encouragement, and, most important, strong opinions on wine so you can learn to form your own. Imbued with Aldo's insatiable passion and eagerness to teach others, Wine Simple is accessible, deeply educational, and lively and fun, both in voice and visuals.

This essential guide begins with the fundamentals of wine in easy-to-absorb hits of information and pragmatic, everyday tips—key varietals and winemaking regions, how to taste, when to save and when to splurge, and how to set up a wine tasting at home. Aldo then teaches you how to take your wine knowledge to the next level and evolve your palate, including techniques on building a “flavor library,” a cheat sheet to good (and great) vintages (and why you shouldn't put everything on the line for them), tips on troubleshooting tricky wines (corked? mousy?), and, for the daring, even how to saber a bottle of champagne. This visual, user-friendly approach will inspire readers to have the confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm to taste smarter, drink boldly, and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine.

Title: A good primer for the wine neophyte.
Review: A basic primer for the neophyte wine enthusiast. Almost too basic, in parts. Lots of fluff. But well worth reading, and using as a reference guide from time to time. This book is just a start for those wine lovers looking to improve their knowledge and experiences with wine. It's like learning arithmetic. If you want to know more about math, you study algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, and so on. Thus, like mathematics, you advance your knowledge. Read more books by wine experts. And, more importantly, taste, taste, taste.

Title: Accessible and fun, just like wine should be
Review: This book rekindled my love of wine. I bought it on the recommendation of a coworker who worked in the wine industry for many years, who knows a lot about wine but isn't obnoxious about it. The author, too, knows a lot about wine but isn't obnoxious about it.The book is practical; it teaches you the basics that you need to know in order to enjoy wine to its fullest. As it turns out, this is a pretty manageable amount of stuff to learn. For those who want to go deeper, he points you in the right direction and offers suggestions without forcing his tastes on you.It's a fun read, and I find myself referring back to it often. If you're interested in learning more about wine but aren't sure where to start, I couldn't recommend this book more highly.
