Read as Vaynerchuk illuminates his top choices with vivid terminology such as "Bring the Thunder" and "Riding the Rainbow." Demystify conventions that once limited your wine-tasting desires. Journey through wine styles and break down barriers with his technical notes and stories behind the vintage. Smile as you realize you too can become a wine aficionado.

Customer Review: A Wine Book for the People, All the People
Well, I just finished reading the book for the second time, frankly it is a book that wine drinkers need to buy, but non-wine fans can also enjoy. Here is why: if you are into wine, Gary's perspective on how different wines strike a chord with him issomething we should all learn to appreciate and look for in wine. His quirky adjectives and his preference for giving wines human personalities is very, very entertaining.
Non-wine fans will enjoy that as well, but will also benefit from Garys' outlook and joy of life and love of family. It sounds weird, as this is a wine book indeed, but I think other non-wine fans will enjoy it as well...
