Winetasters Secrets or The Food That Went with the Whine

Winetaster's Secrets

Author: Andrew Sharp

Taste is a funny thing. Not ha-ha funny, but peculiar funny. Even the definition of the word is a little confusing. It is both a verb and a noun. It means to eat or to drink; to have or to get experience ; a manner or style. This, then, is the first barrier to enjoying wine.

All too often the wine lover is fed information from a taster rather than from his own palate because the tools necessary, the how-tos of tasting itself, arent` readily available. Sure, we all know what we like and dislike, but the world of wine, once it is opened up, is a wonderous and varied one. What is needed to capture the full breadth of wine is a knowledge of how to read your own senses and an understanding of what factors determine your preferences. Winetaster's Secrets focuses on this very facet of wine.

Step-by-step this book reveals how it's done; how the experts, and now you, can determine and evaluate wine quality. It does son in a manner that neither simplifies or complicates the subject. The object is threefold: - to encourage the reader to expand the use of his/her natural senses, increasing the enjoyment of all wines

- to help develop the ability to judge consistently and accurately the quality of a wide array of wines, independent of the tastes of others

- to foster appreciation of the differences in qualitative and nonqualitative wine characteristics.

In addition, Winetaster's Secrets addresses the issues that have often been avoided in previous publications, including:

- age in the taster and the wine

- burnt wine - brandy

- how to taste it and judge it

- a chilling experience

- ice wine

- tasting techniques

- scoring systems, how they work and which systems work better than others.

The result is a precise, enjoyable book.
