Since its first publication in 1989, Matt Kramer's extraordinarily accessible guide to wine has become a classic. Where others talk jargon about centrifuges, steel tanks, and acidity levels, Kramer talks about wine itself. The result is an enriching experience that goes far beyond knowing how to read a label or impress a waiter. The text explains everything an oenophile needs to know, including the creation and naming of wines, wine cellars, presentation and glassware, pairing wine with food, and much more. Kramer reminds us that wine is an expression of the earth that reveals the site and conditions under which it is cultivated. He explores connoisseurship through the practical devices of "thinking wine" and "drinking wine," making for a most enjoyable and engrossing journey through one of life's most dependable pleasures.

Mr. Kramer, however, will first shun snobbery, give his opinion, then ultimately create his own brand of snobbery. I like that. Snobbery is never the problem in these books. In fact you read them specifically because of their supposed ability to let you in on the secrets of such snobbery.
What IS a problem in these sort of works is the weaving of truth and opinion and the intentionally blurred line between them.
Kramer's formula is thus: 'Listen, folks, drink wine any way you want to if it makes you happy, but if you don't want to look like a goddamn loser here's the glass you should use and the meal you should have it with. But by all means, if you want to be a hack wino, be my guest.'
This works for me. Four stars. ( )
