Wine Folly's Magnum Edition: The Master Guide to wine knowledge is for the wine obsessed and the wine curious alike. It's for the wine geeks who are eager to distinguish between Medium Straw and Medium Yellow whites, and for the plain old geek geeks who will wet themselves over authors Madeline Puckette and Justin Hammack's chock-full charts, illustrations, and infographics - the latter stunning not just for their full-color artistry, but for their detail and organization.
I speak of these things from firsthand knowledge, as both an owner of the precedent to Wine Folly: Magnum Edition, Wine Folly: The Essential Guide to Wine, and as a geek geek.
This hardcover wine, wine region, wine tasting, and wine labeling guide covers:
- Over 100 different grapes and the wine styles they go into making.
- An expanded section on food and wine pairing.
- Top and up-and-coming world viticultural areas, complete with detailed maps.
- Bottle labeling and classification customs for 101 producing countries, including France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and Austria.
If you're looking for a gift for a wine lover, Wine Folly: Magnum Edition might be an even better choice than an actual magnum of wine.
Well, get them the magnum too.
