The Complete Wine Book

Written by the doyen of wine experts of the turn of the century, Frank Schoonmaker records his views, shares his tastebuds and recounts his experiences with European wines.
"A BOOK on wine, like good wine itself, really needs neither introduction nor excuse. It is its own best introduction. There is no way to know wine, save by drinking it, and all that a book can do is serve as a guide in one's personal researches and, it is hoped, as a spur to those whose researches have not yet begun."
