If you don't know anything about wine but want to start studying it, this is a good introduction. It won't make you a connoisseur but will help you be a little less clueless if you visit a vineyard or start going to wine tastings.

This was a big help in getting to know wine. I was a novice and this book brought me up to speed quickly. I now have a nice collection of wines to serve my guests.
