My neighbor just got me the book "I don't know much about wine...but I know what I like" by Simon Woods. For any novices like myself, this is an excellent book. I think you can get it at overstock.com for about $5. Anyone else read this.

Have seen it in the book stores and it looks fine. Our summer read is a little bit more advanced: "Wine Report 2005" edited by Tom Stevenson, who shows up around here now and then. It gives detailed reports by different folks on all the world's wine regions. Tom covers Champagne and Alsace on both of which he is a recognised expert. It is completely different from his first effort in this genre, the 2004 report.

I'll have to move up the advancement ladder a bit. [img]http://www.wines.com/ubb2/biggrin.gif[/img]

The book I mentioned is for people who know enough about wine to sound stupid when talking about it. Hopefully I can finish this and move on to a more detailed book.

I have a library copy of the World Atlas of Wine. It's due back day ater tomorrow, but my b-day is oming up in two weeks, so I've got my fingers crossed!

It's a great book if you are interested in where all this great juice comes from, and there is also quite a bit about the wine making process, types of grapes, and history.

I have The Wine Bible by Karen MacNeil, and all of Andrea Immer's Simply Wine type books. Those 2 authors are my favorite.
