Summary of Windows on the World Complete Wine Course: 2008 Edition

Windows on the World Complete Wine Course is simply the bestselling wine book in North America—it?s a classic. The 2007 edition alone has sold over 100,000 copies and reorders continue to pour in. Along with the expanded text that has made last year?s update so successful, the 2008 revision will include a special 16-page supplement on “How to Taste Wine,? taken directly from Kevin?s world-famous class. This new material will include more than 100 wines that Zraly selects for his students to taste, along with the tasting sheet they use for their evaluations. Organized by region, from simple to complex, his list begins with white wines from France, the U.S., and Germany; moves on to the red wines of Burgundy and the Rhône, Bordeaux, the U.S., Italy, Australia, Argentina, and Chile; and concludes with champagnes and ports. By following Kevin?s order, readers will experience the best wines and the wide diversity of taste, style, region, and country. It?s not only a comprehensive and bargain-priced hands-on wine education, but a superb catalog from which to start a wine cellar or find a bottle appropriate to any occasion. In addition, the label for each of the 101 wines is shown, along with commentary on how to read it, suggestions for alternative wines, and specific instructions on how to set up a tasting using Kevin?s techniques. This is the first time Kevin?s actual list has ever been offered in book form and it alone is worth the cover price of Windows on the World Complete Wine Course.
Of course, as always, this unequaled volume retains all the invaluable information, fabulous illustrations, and gorgeous styling of the previous editions—all presented in Zraly?s inimitable, irreverent style. This is the wine guide against which all others are judged.
