Customer Review: Great textbook

I bought this book with the further intent of attending to become a sommelier here in California. This is a very well written text with lots of science within, I'm glad I picked this up before jumping into an expensive school.

Customer Review: An excellent primer

For personal use, I think it's too extensive for the average Joe. Well thought out and informative. I own a cheese and wine shop and intend on using this for new hires.
