About this listen

This book offers a simple path to understanding and appreciating wine so anyone can feel comfortable approaching a bottle or glass.

Quickly internalize the fundamentals of understanding and communicating about wine. Knowing the four essential characteristics of grape varietals will allow you to understand your options and communicate your preferences.

What’s included in this wine-tasting pocket guide:

  • You will discover what wines you prefer.
  • You will develop a compass to guide you in exploring wines.
  • Your compass will have a clear North and a clear South, serving as your most keen advisor when selecting a bottle or a glass of wine.
  • The four reference points I will share with you will provide the framework for your lifelong exploration and enjoyment of wine.

This book is not for the standard wine enthusiast but for the person looking in from afar with curiosity and trepidation, unfamiliar with wine but longing to learn what all the fuss is about.

This book also intends to state that wine is for everyone, and all those who put up lofty barriers are misguided. Wine is not too complicated to understand; there are just many options, and some of us need guidance meandering through the aisles of bottles, labels, and menus so that we can find our perfect refreshment.

If you want to feel confident and comfortable selecting your next glass or bottle of wine, then scroll down and click the “buy now” button. Cheers!

As someone studying food science, I've always understood the science behind wine-making, but this audiobook made me see these processes as an art. The author beautifully breaks down how grape varieties like Tempranillo, Airén, Garnacha, Viura, and Bobal have different qualities that create wines with distinct characteristics. I really loved learning how subtle choices during processing can define each wine's characteristics. I never realized how much thought goes into the process; it's not just about science but also careful craftsmanship. While I don’t usually enjoy alcoholic drinks, this audiobook sparked a genuine appreciation for the artistry behind wine-making

It was as if listening to this audiobook I had a friendly wine-lover introduce me to the best wines of Spain. It wasn’t something I knew a lot about wine, but this book was straightforward. The narration is well-told and pleasant to listen to. Also loved the wine-tasting advice—it was a fun technique to master, but not overwhelming. That way, the next time I shop for wine or go out to dinner, I’m more likely to pick something I’ll like.

I’ve always preferred white wine since red tends to give me a headache, but this audiobook opened my eyes to the vast world of wine beyond my usual go-to. It emphasizes that wine should feel approachable to everyone, not intimidating or exclusive. There were lots of helpful insights and practical tips and I feel so much better prepared to explore different bottles, labels, and menus when eating out.

It makes your mouth water just hearing about it.
