Product Description:
Choosing a bottle of wine should be fun, not frightening. After all, one of the most important elements of enjoying wine is not so much the vintage or the vineyard but the occasion on which it is enjoyed.
In their new book, Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher, authors of the popular weekly 'Tastings' column in the Wall Street Journal, give you the kind of honest, accessible wine information that is hard to find.
In Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion, Dottie and John, as they are known to their fans, answer the most frequently asked questions about what wine to drink on specific occasions. They cover all the bases: What wine should I put away for my newborn's twenty-first birthday? What wine is best with Thanksgiving turkey? They also suggest ways in which wine can make every day a little bit more of an occasion -- how to throw a wine tasting, how to start a wine-tasting group, even how to add wine to your tailgating party. And they share scores of tips from people like you.
Chapters include lists of specific wines and provide readers with suggestions for choosing Champagne to ring in the New Year and for chilled whites (and even reds) to drink in the summer. There is no stodginess about vintages and there are no numbered ratings. Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion gives you simple, straightforward advice to help you choose the best wines for life's best moments. As Dottie and John say, 'The problem with most wine books is that they are about wine. Our book is about life.'
So raise your glass to Wine for Every Day and Every Occasion. And drink to life.

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - A Gift
A gift for a friend who has developed a new interest in African American wineries and collecting their wines.
Rating: - Great book for holiday situations
This book is full of columns describing how to enjoy wine at a host of holidays, from Thanksgiving at home to a special vacation. My recommended chapter is the one on Restaurants. I heartily agree with the authors' `ten easy steps' for ordering wine at a restaurant.
Rating: - Enjoying wine
Easy and entertaining reading. Enables you to learn some things about wine without feeling like you have to study to do so.
Rating:  - The Love of Wines
This is the third book (plus one revised) on wine authored by Dottie & John, two very talented writers for the Wall Street Journal. If you enjoyed their first two books, you will love this one. As you probably already know, their books are not intended to be atlases of viticulture, but are "how to books" on the enjoyment of wine and how wine impacts our day to day life. How wine makes daily events more meaningful and helps to rekindle memories of remote events. The book should be read as a novel ... Read More
Rating: - A fantastic book that introduces people to wine!
It is a very unpretentious book that helps people choose and enjoy wine. I tremendously enjoyed the writing style of the two authors, as it was down to earth and very personal. A great book!
