Have you ever visited a fine restaurant and been intimidated by the prospect of ordering a bottle of wine? Do you enjoy wine but wonder how to get better insights into the ideal wine choices in social settings? Are you afraid that anyone who studies the world's oldest fermented beverage is actually a dreaded wine snob? This 4-page laminated Dining With Wine quick reference Guide builds on the basics set out in Part 1 of this Permacharts quick reference Wine Guide series, with a host of tips and definitions that will raise anyone to the ranks of a sommelier in no time! This Guide is the second volume in a contemplated series of Wine guides that themselves will fold naturally into a greater Hospitality series. Building on the Introductory title, Understanding Wine, this Guide takes the reader from general principles of entertaining with wine, to food pairing with wine and the most subtle features of good wines. The second half of the Guide provides an in-depth review of all essential wine terminology and a listing of the most important varietals that are encountered by a wine lover. Attention is paid throughout the Guide to the importance of various wine-making components such as the type of wood used in the barrels, ageing processes, tannin's and their effect on wine, storage principles, etc.
