Chuck Byers Wine Consultant Review for Good Better Best Wines

Have you ever wanted to entertain and been in a quandry as to what to serve with that special meal? Now add to that: "---and didn't want to spend an "arm and a leg doing it!?" Wine writer/Sommelier, Carol Evans has just produced the answer. It is called Good, Better, Best Wines and it is a no-nonsense guide to some of the most popular brands in the United States (many of which are available in Canada). The book comes complete with such items as storing wine, food and wine matches, wine cellars etc. but the crux of the book is about good, better and the best wines that can be purchased at reasonable prices up to about $15 dollars. The work is done in an easy to read and understandable (none of this wine jargon that can confuse) manner which plainly states the wines and why they are chosen. Many favourites are included as are some suprises but what is life without qualified surprises. I have already worn my copy out with my flipping and flapping through its 238 pages. Well worth the price which I believe should be around the $20 mark. An Alpha Book published by Penguin.
