"The Wine Bible (3rd Edition)" Leather-Bound Book By Karen MacNeil

No other wine book compares to The Wine Bible in its gift for grounding the reader deeply, and happily, in the fundamentals while layering on passionate asides, tips, anecdotes, definitions, illustrations, maps, labels, and recommended bottles. Karen McNeil, "America's missionary of the vine" (TIME Magazine), is the only U.S. winner of every major wine award in the English language. And she herself has never stopped learning. For this third edition of her best-selling book, she tasted $168,000 worth of wines, a tremendous sacrifice to keep the reader current with new chapters on Great Britain, Croatia, and Israel; a new section called In the Beginning…Wine in the Ancient World; new fully revised Great Wines section (formerly the "Wines to Know") for each country and region; expanded chapters on France, Italy, Australia, South America, and the U.S.; an expanded grape glossary including 400-plus varieties; a revised wine terms glossary; and an expanded Mastering Wine Section incorporating the latest science on taste and smell.
