Product Description
Everything you need to know about starting a wine club. This sassy handbook teaches you and your girlfriends the art of selecting, sampling, and sipping the fruit of the vine (while you indulge in the latest gossip, of course).

A foolproof month-by-month plan by sommelier, Maureen Petrosky, highlights all the pesky details, so you and your girlfriends can sit back and sip.

From still to sparkling and delicate whites to rich reds, each month's chapter singles out a grape for study and enjoyment-school was never like this! This course with class includes easy-does-it entertaining tips, taste-testing know-how, and tantalizing wine facts.

Expert recommendations for brilliant wines at killer prices! What woman doesn't love a bargain?

Wine-laden tidbits such as how to collect bottles for a personal wine stash.

Outrageously scrumptious recipes that teach you simply to pair wine and food-it's a no-brainer.

The latest on the snazziest wine gizmos and gadgets. Shoppers, start your engines.

Demystified terminology: a short course in ?wine speak? makes any wine novice comfortable when shopping for and serving wine.

5 out of 5 stars Wine Tasting   June 10, 2007
I bought this to share with a wine tasting group we started. We started one 7 years ago in another city and it was really successful. Trying to introduce wine to people in Texas in the dry counties is a challenge, however. I also bought a copy of this book as gift for someone. Very helpful.
