Some of my favorites - ENJOY!

Great wine book - Kevin Zraly's Windows of the World Complete Wine Course, 25th anniversary edition!

I've read lots of wine books and there are a lot of great ones - my favorites Jans Priewe and Karen MacNeil's The Wine Bible.

Now I discovered Zraly's wine course book which is the best teaching about wine yet - for me. 

It's laid out so that information is chunked down into sippable bits. In the Basics, he includes the essentials of fermentation, grapes, etc. He also has in the margins information on wine in the global economy. 

He has statistics, like how many acres are vineyards worldwide? 
Which 5 countries drink the most? 



Not dry, this book, it is full-bodied with many layers to enjoy.

SIPPIN' on Top of the World is a unique book with  inspiring toasts, ideas for conversation and reminders to enjoy each moment.
