Should white wine or red accompany oysters, or perhaps a Sherry? What is a Marsala or an Amontillado? Do you see your friends grimace as they drink their wine? Here is the perfect guide to the art of buying, keeping, and serving good wine. It was written by an internationally recognised authority, Andre Simon who was the founder of the Wine and Food Society, and who wrote A Wine Primer, the most famous of his many books which has become a classic enjoying continuously high sales. He guides us easily but very thoroughly, along the great galleries of the Aperitifs, the famous Beverage wines, and the Dessert wines, concluding with a sparkling review of wines for special occasions.* This is a VG reprint copy with minimal shelf wear & slight age.* 0
