A Book for Wine Newbies: Wine Folly
Who is Wine Folly for?
If you want to have an easy to understand intro to wine
If you want to learn how to speak wine
If you want to have this laying around your house so you can look like a fancy pants
To give to a friend that perpetually brings Barefoot to your home
For those friends who ask which wine is good. It's like those people who ask how long to microwave something for. (Only joking, I love being asked that question- it makes me feel important.)
I really like this book. I fallen asleep reading a lot of terrible wine books until landing on this one because it's cute and like a colorful reference guide. (In retrospect, reading a wine book is a bit weird.)
It's broken down in useful sections, like a quick overview of how wine is made, how you can tell wine is bad, and different type of wines. It's like a little nerdy wine textbook.
Also, the author, Madeline Puckette has a lot of extra content, like wine tasting YouTube videos that you can follow along with. I wish I could say this was a sponsored post. It's not. I just like this book, and feel like the world needs to know. However, the link below is an affiliate link. This is because I've had to read a lot of terrible wine books before finding this one. Cheers.
