 Great textbook September 29, 2007
I bought this book with the further intent of attending to become a sommelier here in California. This is a very well written text with lots of science within, I'm glad I picked this up before jumping into an expensive school.
 An excellent primer September 22, 2007
For personal use, I think it's too extensive for the average Joe. Well thought out and informative. I own a cheese and wine shop and intend on using this for new hires.

very informative November 6, 2006
I enjoyed this book. It provides great detail into the basics of winemaking. If you are interested in how wine is made or getting into this industry, it is a great reference guide which shows how wine is made start to finish. It is a great starting point.

If you want to really know wine, this is the book. This book is used in the California State University as an elective class. If you complete the book and take the reviews and quizzes you are bound to learn much about wine and other aspects in the wine making. For the thirst in learning about wine, this is the book.
