More fun than a barrel of monkeys! May 28, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Although I am a big fan of Gary's, I was initially a little skeptical about this book, thinking, "oh great - I need one more wine book like a big ol' hole in my head." But I have to tell you it was the most entertaining and enjoyable wine read I've ever had the pleasure of picking up. And it's not "just a list" approach either - there's plenty of real learning to be had. All in all, "the QPR is just ridiculous," as Gary might say!
Thunder-tastic book! May 27, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Really great "anti-wine guide." Gary does not intimidate and wants everyone to be included in the wine world. It's an interesting book, giving you tips and fun facts about wine. Not only did I learn about new varietals, but I laughed and was entertained throughout. Loved the "Palate Primers" and "Vaynercabulary" as well.
This book is great for wine nerds and newbies alike. Rejoice all, the Thunder was brought!
Gary makes me a believer in wine May 26, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
As a wine newbie, I have not been able to experience very many different wines so I really did not know what to look for when I started tasting wine. After watching Gary and breezing through this book I think I am beginning to develop an understanding of the complexities of wine, and the fun associated with trying different wine/food pairings and different "weird" wines in general. Growing up I always thought wine to be gross, my thought was why drink fermented Welch's grape juice? Anyways Gary has done a magnificent job making wine accessible to the average person while breaking me of my fermented Welch's belief. I especially like the inclusion of inexpensive wines as I am a college student on a tight budget. Great job Gary, keep bringing the THUNDER!
Straight shooting guide to understanding your wine tastes. May 25, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Gary's straight shooting guide to wine isn't a book about finding the perfect wine for a meal or a chronicle of wine history. It's a survey of 101 different wines that show you the differences in wines out on the market which are value based and available. Gary promotes self reliance and understanding your own tastes. His humble and down to earth approach is refreshing in the wine world which is notoriously snobby.
Fun book with lots of information May 25, 2008

I read this book basically at one sitting. The book gives 101 of Gary's wine picks--they vary from white to red, sparkling, dessert, etc. For each wine he imparts a lot of information, both about the grape, the wine and where it is from which could be boring if from another writer. However, Gary makes it fun and interesting to read with his written words sounding almost exactly how he sounds on Wine Library TV. I also liked that he gave suggestions at the back of the book with wines for specific events. I would recommend this book especially for someone who is just getting into wine as it will be informative, but not boring.
