In this new easy-to-read guide, Aspler teaches you how to be a "Wine Detective," how by following "clues" you can always select a bottle of wine which you will be sure to enjoy. Will it be dry or sweet? Will it be full-bodied or light in the mouth? Sugar codes, grapes, labels, acidity levels, aging, different regions – all provide clues to what the wine will taste like before the bottle is opened.

Aligoté to Zinfandel also covers selecting, storing, serving, and appreciating the wonderful world of wine, and even how to spot a wine that might be "off." Aspler discusses the best way to serve wine, the types of foods that various wines should be served with and those to be avoided, and the proper glasses and corkscrews to use, as well as wine-serving temperatures, wine-cooking hints, and more.

Also included are wine charts, pronunciation guides, and a glossary of "winespeak" terms.

For beginners and connoisseurs alike, Aligoté to Zinfandel
