by: Ed McCarthy, Mary EwingMulligan

August 15, 2001
I was looking for an introduction to french wines and I got it, but that is all. Do not look for other indeep explanations, .... at the end this is a dummies guide.
The book go through the main french wines, with explanation of both grapes and wine, but again at superficial level.
This is the right book to approach the French wine world. Suggested in this way.

White Wine for Dummies (For Dummies)

by: Ed McCarthy, Mary EwingMulligan

September 30, 1996
It is a good book for someone who had no idea of white wine. It gives a general idea of different types of grapes and the vocabulary of "wine". Most important of all, it points out that a good wine difinition varies from a person to others. Now, I really enjoy to drink my white wine and try to determine the flavor, the acidity, etc.

Red Wine for Dummies (For Dummies)

by: Ed McCarthy, Mary EwingMulligan

September 30, 1996
I'm almost a complete beginner to wines (other than having discovered by trial and error what I like of the stick at the local supermarket). This book tackles things on the sort of level I'm at, and with the explanations on various grapes I found certain common factors between the wines I really like - useful information when trying to branch out. The problem I found was with the middle portion of the book, where the review of specific wines didn't match our local off-licence that well. I assume that this reflects different wines being available in the UK and the US. It's a shame, because it meant that a fair bit of the book wasn't that useful, but the rest is interesting, accessible and a useful reference.
