Description
If you love wine, this book will give you all the knowledge and self-confidence you need to become a world-class taster. It reveals in methodical steps exactly how to acquire essential skills. Cees (it’s pronounced ‘Case’) van Casteren is a brilliant scientist, author, and international wine competition judge, as well as one of the global super-elite (less than 500 top experts worldwide) who have been able to earn the supreme title, Master of Wine.
“Cees is a brilliant taster, but just as importantly, he knows how to communicate his knowledge clearly and with real insight. Consumers will love this book, but I learnt a lot from it too. And I’ve been tasting professionally for 35 years.”
-Tim Atkin, MW
“In terms of providing vocabulary, van Casteren has created a straightforward, gloriously colourful, strongly visual aroma wheel based on Dr Anne Noble’s wine aroma wheel, but different – one of the best I’ve seen, to be honest.” Read more here.
