Cooking/Wine

This edition is out of print. This book is about wine, pure and simple. "The best thing about wine is knowing that you'll never know it all," says Matt Skinner. "But Thirsty Work will arm you with a little more wine confidence, knowledge, and enthusiasm." Matt Skinner celebrates wine and all that goes into making it and all who are involved in sharing it. Based on the way he teaches the subject of wine to his students at Fifteen, he breaks down all the key topics - covering drinking and tasting, the red and white grapes, where and how wine is made, and the range of soft, serious and fizzy styles. Serious but unpretentious, inspiring and fun, Skinner presents his subject on a unique, personal level. First published 2005.
