Haddad, a noted wine expert and journalist, has designed this wine guide for novices who automatically request Chardonnay in an effort not to look ignorant in front of oenophiles. Stressing casual experimentation and an adventurous spirit, the author encourages readers to try everything, since attitudes about wine have become more relaxed in recent years. This book examines the different varietals, such as Syrah, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinotage and even includes a few recipes designed to flatter or utilize each type of grape.
