Book Synopsis
Richard Betts is one of fewer than two hundred master sommeliers in the world, but he's no wine snob and he hates wine-speak. He helps readers scratch and sniff their way to expertise by introducing the basic components of wine - the fruits, the wood, the earth. Enabling anyone to discover the difference between a Syrah and a Sangiovese.
