In his inimitably energetic and knowing way, Joe has not only demystified wine tasting here, but he's done so in a manner that applies just as much to the seasoned collector as to wine lovers who are new to the grape. The Wine Taster's Journal belongs in everyone's cellar or next to their wine rack… preferably wine-stained, dog-eared, and well-used.” —Brian Freedman, wine/spirits/travel/food columnist
