Reviews
"I always feel so at ease drinking wine with Aldo. While he is a renowned sommelier, he always helps me learn and listen to the wine, and this book will make you fall in love with wine again." --José Andrés, chef/owner of ThinkFoodGroup "This is undoubtedly the best introduction to wine that I've ever encountered. I wish I'd had access to a book like this when I was beginning my journey as a wine lover. Aldo Sohm makes oenophilia fun without making it dumb, proving yet again that he is one of the world's greatest sommeliers--which is to say, a great teacher." --Jay McInerney
Synopsis
From the world-renowned sommelier Aldo Sohm, a dynamic, essential wine guide for a new generation NAMED ONE OF THE BEST COOKBOOKS OF THE YEAR BY FOOD52 Aldo Sohm is one of the most respected and widely lauded sommeliers in the world. He's worked with celebrated chef Eric Ripert as wine director of three-Michelin-starred Le Bernardin for over a decade, yet his philosophy and approach to wine is much more casual. Aldo's debut book, Wine Simple, is full of confidence-building infographics and illustrations, an unbeatable depth of knowledge, effusive encouragement, and, most important, strong opinions on wine so you can learn to form your own. Imbued with Aldo's insatiable passion and eagerness to teach others, Wine Simple is accessible, deeply educational, and lively and fun, both in voice and visuals. This essential guide begins with the fundamentals of wine in easy-to-absorb hits of information and pragmatic, everyday tips--key varietals and winemaking regions, how to taste, when to save and when to splurge, and how to set up a wine tasting at home. Aldo then teaches you how to take your wine knowledge to the next level and evolve your palate, including techniques on building a " flavor library, " a cheat sheet to good (and great) vintages (and why you shouldn't put everything on the line for them), tips on troubleshooting tricky wines (corked? mousy?), and, for the daring, even how to saber a bottle of champagne. This visual, user-friendly approach will inspire readers to have the confidence, curiosity, and enthusiasm to taste smarter, drink boldly, and dive headfirst fearlessly into the exciting world of wine., From the world-renowned sommelier Aldo Sohm, a dynamic, essential wine guide for a new generation Aldo Sohm is one of the most respected and widely lauded sommeliers in the world.

Advance praise for Wine Simple "If you've ever felt like you ought to be smart about wine, this is the book. Aldo makes wine approachable and never dumbed down." --Madeline Puckette, co-founder of Wine Folly "A meal at Le Bernardin is always an incredible experience, especially with Aldo's expert knowledge and effortless charm It can be intimidating to choose wine, but with Wine Simple we can all feel like world-class sommeliers." --Chrissy Teigen "Whoever thinks wine is all about snobbery and intricate complexity should open this book In less than 300 pages, Aldo Sohm manages to open the doors of this universe with wit, fun, and great pedagogy. A perfect, personal beginner's guide by a legend in our industry, Wine Simple will surely be the bedside book for a new generation of wine lovers." --Pascaline Lepeltier, Master Sommelier and managing partner, Racines NY

    Super fast shipping. Packaged well, but the carrier didn't pay attention to the bold "Fragile" sticker on the box. Did offer a refund for the damaged item, but it wasn't their fault so I declined. Nothing a little gorilla glue can't fix. Matched the description and a phenomenal price. All around fantastic seller that I look forward to doing business with again!
