Wine descriptions like you've never seen before June 16, 2008
0 out of 1 found this review helpful
Like Wine Library TV, this book had off the wall descriptions of great wines. Gary provides so much detail, you feel as if you've already tasted the wines. It is refreshing how Gary does not keep using the same 10 descriptors of wine like many other critics. This book will also get you to try varieties and locations you may never have considered. Well done!

A Wine Book for the People, All the People June 13, 2008

Well, I just finished reading the book for the second time, frankly it is a book that wine drinkers need to buy, but non-wine fans can also enjoy. Here is why: if you are into wine, Gary's perspective on how different wines strike a chord with him issomething we should all learn to appreciate and look for in wine. His quirky adjectives and his preference for giving wines human personalities is very, very entertaining.
Non-wine fans will enjoy that as well, but will also benefit from Garys' outlook and joy of life and love of family. It sounds weird, as this is a wine book indeed, but I think other non-wine fans will enjoy it as well...

Perhaps Gary is a marketing genius but a more honest effort should have been made to inform potential buyers of this book that the title should be "101 Wines (THAT I"M SELLING): Guaranteed to......". If you look at the list of these "bring thunder" wines, then read their reviews at WS and WA (not that anyone should be a slave to ratings but these two big boys are typically directionally accurate) you will see that most of these wines are not considered to be anything special. But when you go to the winelibary website and see how many Gary's selling......well then it becomes obvious this is a sales brochere not an honest attempt at what the title of the book implies.
Great suggestions, entertaining reading June 8, 2008

Vaynerchuk's energy and excitement come across well in this book. It is an entertaining read, with some great information. Beginners will like the specific suggestions and accessible information, and even wine geeks will enjoy the take on wine and the wine world.
