Wine is a sacred subject to many, but should it be? "Cutting Through the Wine Knot" takes another irreverent look at the wine industry and dispels myths while imploring readers to make up their own minds, and to learn about wine the old fashioned way, by drinking it In this tl;dr age each of the essays is kept short and to the point, so you can read them in the time it takes you to... Enjoy a glass of wine. The book is broken into three sections For Consumers, For Students and For the Pros, but no matter what your level of involvement in wine, each essay is sure to hit home. Ignore the alphabet soup surrounding Dr. Stephen Reiss PhD, CWE's name and instead concentrate on the no nonsense advice from a 30 year veteran of the wine game.
