Book Reviews of Windows on the World Complete Wine Course: 2007 Edition

Book Review: Great book
Summary: 4 Stars

I thought this book was very educational and kept me interested enough that I didn't feel like I was reading a textbook. I truly felt like after reading this book, I could hold a conversation about wines and know enough to not feel ridiculous. The book covers every notable region of the world, except maybe Arkansas and Canada.

My only complaint is there should be less treatment of expensive French wines that Joe Sikspak cannot find nor likely afford. He is likely going to be hitting the Beringer and Mondavi a lot harder than the Chateau Leoville Las Cases.
