Editor’s Note: this is an update on a previous post.
I love a good wine book! In fact, I have, and I know this because I moved recently, at least 4 boxes of them. They vary from silly novels, to the classic novels (Sideways), to thick study guides to frivolous edutainment.
This year, my friend, Catherine Fallis, MS, wants you to share Ten Grapes to Know, her fun and insightful guide to becoming an expert wine drinker, impressing your friends, boss, co-workers and your future in-laws alike. Curating a top 10 list of who’s who in the most well known grapes around the world, this book expands your palate and takes to places you might have never imagined.
With the distinct honor of being the worlds fifth female Master Somm (hey gals WHAT THE HECK) , The Grape Goddess has created the Planet Grape Wine Review platform. Girl power! Taking this to the next level, Catherine has created a helpful primer for the wine savant and geek alike,
Ten Grapes to Know is an amusing but informative jaunt through some of the world’s most popular and most planet grapes – Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Viognier, Pinot Noir, Sangiovese, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Zinfandel – stretches beyond the obvious and digs in to how these grapes will be your perfect date. Having lunch with your boss or your future in-laws? Get the 411 on tasting, buying and pairing wines to impress.
My personal favorite feature is the buying guide, with recommendations in every price point. Purchase this on Kindle and you’ll never be at a loss what to buy, at the local grocery or your corner wine shop. Along with these recommendations, Catherine will guide you outside the box – by recommending additional grapes that you might enjoy, if you enjoyed the featured grape. Go forth and be brave my little winos!
Whether for you or a wine loving friend, this book is a must have!
Purchase at your favorite bookshop or on Amazon.
