Wine Simple: A Totally Approachable Guide from a World-Class Sommelier
By Aldo Sohm
This comes from the highly respected, award-winning sommelier, NYC-based Aldo Sohm. The book brilliantly teaches valuable wine lessons like how to taste wine and how to choose a bottle in a restaurant versus in a store. There’s a wine aroma chart, maps of different wine regions, and a visual guide to the flavor regions of your tongue. Practical terminology and non-pretentious language make it a great resource for people who feel intimidated talking about wine, while Aldo’s expertise makes it a valuable read for even the most educated drinkers. In terms of the multiple wine books I’ve stocked in my own bookshelves, this one does the best at balancing in-depth knowledge with a thoughtful overview of the basics. While it would make a great gift for your favorite wine geek, you should probably order one for your bookshelf, too.
