The Book Review by Richard Hough:
“How to Sound Wine Smart: An Illustrated Guide” by Maryse Chevriere is an engaging and playful book aimed at demystifying the often stodgy world of wine in the form of a charmingly illustrated glossary. While there are many wine guides that serve a similar purpose, “How to Sound Wine Smart” takes a refreshingly irreverent approach to tackling some of the wine world’s most idiosyncratic jargon.
