Essential Winetasting by Michael Schuster

One of the most respected lecturers on wine tells you everything you need to know in a comprehensive, structured course. Although accessible to beginners, this new paperback edition also has enough depth to appeal to more experienced tasters and explores in detail how to taste and assess the quality of a wine. The big feature: nine practical tastings that guide the reader through tasting and comparing wines in every major style.
Michael Schuster trained in Bordeaux, where he gained the University's Tasting Diploma; he then set up his own wine school in London. He is the author of the highly successful Understanding Wine and he writes for Decanter and Wine International. As passionate about teaching wine as he is about the drink itself, he has been described by Janics Robinson as, "A first-rate wine teacher".
