About the Author ALDO Sohm is the James Beard Award-winning Wine director of Le Bernardin and a partner in the eponymous Aldo Sohm Wine Bar.
This visual, user-friendly approach will inspire readers to have the confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm to taste smarter, drink boldly, and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine.
Sohm then teaches you how to take your Wine knowledge to the next level and evolve your palate, including techniques on building a "flavor library," a cheat sheet to good (and great) vintages (and why you shouldn\'t put everything on the line for them), tips on troubleshooting tricky wines (corked? mousy?), and, for the daring, even how to saber a bottle of champagne.
This essential Guide begins with the fundamentals of Wine in easy-to-absorb hits of information and pragmatic, everyday tips--key varietals and winemaking regions, how to taste, when to save and when to splurge, and how to set up a Wine tasting at home.
Imbued with Aldo\'s insatiable passion and eagerness to teach others, Wine Simple is accessible, deeply educational, and lively and fun, both in voice and visuals.
Sohm\'s debut book, Wine Simple , is full of confidence-building infographics and illustrations, an unbeatable depth of knowledge, effusive encouragement, and, most important, strong opinions on Wine so you can learn to form your own.
He\'s worked with celebrated chef Eric Ripert as Wine director of Le Bernardin for over a decade, yet his philosophy and approach to Wine is anything but pretentious.
