Wine should enhance life, not complicate it. But you stress at reading a wine list, right? And it sounds like a different language when people talk about wine, doesn't it?
That's how wine columnist Len Napolitano felt when he was a self-conscious wine amateur until he cut through a web of peculiar wine terms and complex subjects and transitioned into a practical wine professional.
With this informative and entertaining new book, Nose, Legs, Body! Know Wine Like The Back of Your Hand, go from wine beginner to wine savvy. Napolitano fits a bounty of information into 50 concise answers to common wine questions and concludes chapters with hands-on wine tasting exercises to do at home.

So, let the wine education begin! From learning the basics to discovering the how's and why's of a great wine, your confidence will grow when talking about and choosing wine in any situation.
