Book Reviews of California Wine For Dummies
Book Review: Definitely for beginners and travelers
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is OK, but I thought it would be a little more in depth. It's partially my fault as I spent the last year going to school for wine to obtain my sommelier certification. The problem was that we did not spend much time on US wine, or new world wine at all for that matter. Turns out I was very very familiar with the information already with minimal exposure. Too much time spent on travel tidbits. I wanted a good foundation of all the regions and subregions, but this book doesn't really focus on wine knowledge. I guess it's more of a consumer handbook, with lots of producers and recommendations. This information is also a very important aspect of wine knowledge. I am happy with the book anyway. The price is good, and it does have lots of tidbits of information. In the context that it is a "Dummy" book, I would highly recommend it.
