Michael Broadbent's Wine Tasting (Mitchell Beazley Wine Guides)

I read about this tasting book in another wine book and I am so glad I bought it! It has really helped me learn more about wine pairings as well how to take better tasting notes. I can't wait to finish the book and try more wine!

It's content is compact and accurate. Wine color page is very helpful.

Great little introductory book for sensory analysis of wine.

Precise, direct and valuable this small book is rich in details about wine tasting from an expert in the field of wine appreciation.

I will treasure this book probably for the rest of my life. It's not new to me. I had a copy years ago, I think in the 1980s when I first started to take notice of the wine I was drinking and wondered how best to find out how to choose the wine I enjoyed and attempt to describe it. Several house moves later, during which my books were put into storage, where some succumbed to damp and rot, including Mr Broadbent's guide, I was delighted to find it was still available. I refer to it constantly, before I go to a tasting and afterwards when I review my notes. It is simply indispensable and a joy to read. It is unpretentious, practical and full of useful tips for the would be wine connoisseur. It is a lasting treasure. Buy it.
