What others are saying!"What a great book - fun content, well-organized and easy to read and digest!" Cynthia Calongne--Lyr Lobo |
About the authorI'm a wine enthusiast on my personal wine journey who found most books on wine either too textbook, too long, or packed with information I don't need or want to know. Eventually I was collecting the information that I found pertinent to enjoying wine without a degree in viticulture. I thought others might like to have the short cut to the core material as well. Thus was born the idea for The Little Wine Guide. So, join me on this wine discovery journey! I have a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration and have worked in Fortune 500 companies and Department of Defense most of my working life. I am a Colorado native who loves the mountains and wildlife, but I don't ski, I currently volunteer at a cat shelter, played clarinet for a short time, and dabble in drawing, watercolor, and acrylic painting. |
My Personal Wine Notes:Although my book introduces all wines with equal treatment, I personally have a preference for white wines. I have enjoyed many wonderful red wines, but given a choice I will order a Riesling if at all possible. Although I strongly advocate that you experiment and find what you like, I will share a few of the wines I enjoy for your benefit. If it assists you, then I am happy. I am partial to the German Rieslings: Clean SlateZeller schwarze Katz Selbach Selbach-Oster Reuscher-Haart Carl Schmitt-Wagner (100 year old vines - ungrafted) Willi Schaefer American Rieslings: Kendall-Jackson Vintner's Reserve Riesling - my favorite US Riesling hands down Seaglass Riesling from Seaglass Wine Company White Wines I recommend: Kendall Jackson Chardonay Clos Du Bois Pinot Grigio Voga Pinot Grigio Vento Di Mare Pinot Grigio Red wine I recommend: Monte Antico Toscano (Super Tuscan red blend) Predator Old Vine Zinfandel, Rutherford Ranch Winery Healdsburg Ranches Pinot Noir (Appellation Series is best) Dairyman Pinot Noir from Belle Glos Winery Rose or Blush Marques de Caceres Rioja Ros� (Spanish Ros�, slightly dry Grenache and Tempranillo blend) Domaine de Fontsainte - Gris de Gris AOC Corbi�res from the South of France (slightly dry Grenache Gris and Grenache Noir blend |
