The Beginner's Guide to Learning Wine Snobbery...A book that offers information about grapes, tastes, winemaking, and the dos and don'ts of wine tasting.
Wine writer and educator Richard Best created his unique wine Lexicon to fulfil a need -- a need to document the terminology that wine people use every day when talking about wine. His Lexicon has been adopted by numerous wineries, who invariably have a copy "under the tasting bar".
