Title: the best portal to a connoisseur's confidence
Product review: I discovered this book even before I read its glowing feature in my Business Week magazine this week. The cat is now out of the bag -or, forgive me -the cork is now out of the bottle. Oldman's Guide gets to the point with down-to-earth and useful information. It really is all about "shortcuts to a connoisseur's confidence," to borrow a line from the BW review. The organization of the book is the most helpful I've seen in a wine guide -with crisp, funny headings and clear charts. My wife and I have had a lot of fun mastering many of the book's "secret alternative" wines -buying up great and very affordable versions of Barbera, Dolcetto, Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand, Viognier and even Chinon, the crisp French red. It has also begun our love affair with Pinot Gris, done best in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, a perfect wine as the weather gets warmer. We refer back to this book endlessly for its sound advice and accessible approach.
