Joe Roberts aka 1winedude has written a great guide to wine tasting.

How to Taste Like a Wine Geek: The 1WineDude Wine Tasting Guide details a practical tasting approach to increase your knowledge about – and enjoyment of – wine (the greatest beverage in the world).

Some of the highlights:

• A step-by-step guide to tasting wine like the pros (only without the spitting or the snobbishness!).
• The story of how Joe overcame his personal fear of wine, and was able to go from total WineDunce to the 1WineDude (and how that journey helped to form his tasting approach).
• A practical example of the tasting approach in action.
• Printable Forms for capturing your own wine tasting experiences.
• Links to lots of helpful resources, wine accessories, & more (for further wine learning).
• The Guide is targeted at those that are either new to wine, or who enjoy wine now but really want to get more out of it and are not sure where to start. If you’re one of those people – now you have a place to start.  (Excerpted from the book.)

Get this book in the store along with an Insider Guide & be ready for your next wine tasting trip!
