If you enjoy wine, this is an excellent book to have! I own lots of other wine books, but I actually take this one shopping with me. It is divided by major type and gives a history on both the grape and wine. In each category you'll find a list of wines to try in different price categories (many under $12) with detailed descriptions of each. It has really helped me to find amazing wines at bargain prices and better understand my own tasting experiences.
A must-have for the wine lover who is not a snob

The balance of welcome humor and extensive knowledge behind the writing of this entertaining guide makes it worlds above most other books on wine, which typically shut out the everyday eater and drinker with stuffy language and crusty style. It actually makes you want to drink (which, yes, for some won't necessarily be very impressive...). You can expect to laugh and learn! An excellent gift for family, friends, and of course for yourself. *****
