Wine Service for Wait Staff and Wine Lovers

Forget about Idiot’s or Dummy’s books…this book is all you need for an understanding of wines.  The author explains everything from types of wines, how to serve, to when to serve, what to look for, taste for and smell.

I thought I knew a bit about wine but nothing like what I was able to absorb in the short time it took to read this book.  This book can easily be read in less than an afternoon or gleaned right before you head out for the evening.  The average person is not a sommelier, so general basic knowledge is all you need and you will get it from this book. 

I was always concerned about ordering wine at a nice restaurant because the waiters expect me to smell and taste the wine before pouring and I wasn’t sure what exactly I should be doing.  Now, because of this book I feel empowered to understand what I am looking for within the wines that are ordered.

The author also fills the reader in on what appear to be little known facts; such as, when a red wine can be served chilled or when a white may not have the right color.  These are invaluable to know if you enjoy wine.
