A terrific guide for buying wine that strips away the intimidation and pomposity, making it easier for everyday consumers to navigate a wine shop or the wine section of a grocery store with confidence.... One of the most-attractive aspects of Complete Wine Selector is its easy-to-navigate design, which breaks down information into easy to scan boxes and visual icons. That only adds to the unstuffy feel, emphasizing that wine is something that should be enjoyed, and that picking the right bottle isn't something to dread., Not another wine primer, I thought when I picked up Katherine Cole's Complete Wine Selector. Yet I was immediately bowled over by how Cole, wine columnist for the Oregonian newspaper and author of Voodoo Vintners, has figured out a new way to present a familiar topic. By using Web publishing techniques--heavy use of infographics and short snippets of text--she manages to convey an impressive amount of information on a single page....

How I wish that Katherine Cole's Complete Wine Selector had been around before now, as it's the perfect solution to this perennial question...

As a thoroughly researched and delightfully presented primer I feel that it is simply second to none., Complete Wine Selector is about the most practical wine book I own... When you buy the book, you'll wonder how Cole packed so much information in its 250 pages. If you are going to own one wine book, this could be it.
