Susan rated it really liked it Aug 21, Saurabh A Jayawant rated it really liked it Nov 27, Elyse says you don't have to spend a lot to get a great tasting wine. I realize it's supposed to be a guide for good, cheap wines but honestly? Kami Hall rated it it was ok Feb 13, This book was ok. It's a great addition to any kitchen or bar.
I loved reading it and am now off to try some new wines! Elyse has been a featured auctioneer at "A Toast To Women In Wine", a partnership with Wine Spectator magazine to host the nation's premier celebration of female winemakers and fine cuisine. Elyse formerly on the staff of Christie's is an appraiser in popular culture and was a regular on the tv program "Antiques Roadshow". I've watched and admired Elyse Luray on these shows and have been impressed with her knowledge and research skills. I give this a 5 star rating for the easy read, simple to use guide book to have on hand in every kitchen.
Jun 30, Wendy Hines rated it liked it. I'm not good with wine. I like wine, don't get me wrong, but I couldn't tell you what wine pairs well with a meal. I always feel out of my element when I'm out at a great restaurant or with friends on choosing, so I usually let them. Elyse has a great color-coded index that helps you pair wine with a meal. It couldn't be easier!! When I was at a corporate event a few months ago, we were to choose our wine with our meal. I cri I'm not good with wine. I cringed at the prices!! Seriously, twenty-three dollars a glass!!! I love a great red wine, but I couldn't afford a bottle of that on my budget, let alone a glass.
Fortunately, now I don't have to.
Each wine has it's own page, and not only is it under twenty dollars, she lists tasting notes as well as a detailed label image, which will make it easier for you to look for in the store. If your looking for great wines on an affordable budget, want to impress your friends with your knowledge, then pick up this book!
