Book Reviews of The Art of Decanting: Bringing Wine to Life
Book Review: Informative book
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an informative book. It is not just a hardback book on decanting wine, but this book also gives a nice history of all the accessories used when serving wine (such as coasters, wine buckets, wine tables, etc).
The "menu" located in the back of this book is not very useful. In fact, I would not even recommend trying those recipes,(even if I were an advanced cook).
The photos are wonderful, especially the historical photos.
This book was written by Ms. Jordan , who works for Jordan Winery, so almost all the wine bottles shown in this book are from the Jordan Winery. But to me, that's OK because the historical information and the decanting information are what are really worth reading anyhow. In other words, I would take the information expressed in this book and apply it to any wine bottle used,(when you're presenting wine at your table).
Summary of The Art of Decanting: Bringing Wine to Life
Wine is much more than a beverage to be enjoyed-it's an experience that has a culture all its own. The Art of Decanting explores these rituals, tracing the evolution of wine presentation and its rich lore. Author Sandra Jordan, of Sonoma's acclaimed Jordan wines, unearths unusual practices in wine history and sifts through centuries of rituals and accoutrements such as wine furniture, vessels, corks, corkscrews, glassware, and specifically decanters, to demystify their modern interpretations and explain how they are properly used today. With a handy entertaining guide that brings all the information into a practical light, The Art of Decanting and a bottle of wine will transform the most casual of gatherings into an evening to remember.Spirits Books
