Ask the Wine Guy – Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Wine, but Didn’t Know Who to Ask

Ask the wine guy

By Joe Borrello
Author Joe Borrello, (also author of “Recipes From the Wineries of the Great Lakes”), in his most recent book “Ask the Wine Guy”, writes much like a catechism or a website’s FAQ. He details the most often asked questions, followed by concise, clear answers. The advantage here is that he answers the questions that you didn’t know – until now – that you had.

The book covers simple questions such as how to select a wine to serve with certain dishes (no hard and fast rules, but general rules of thumb), if a guest brings a bottle of wine to your hosted dinner party, should it be served (unless they inquired earlier about the meal, it should be treated as a gift and not opened). The book deals with more complex questions as well. There are also some useful food recipes designed to work well with wine.

Joe Borrello is the executive director of Tasters Guild International (a wine and food appreciation society), and judges wines throughout the world. To obtain “Ask the Wine Guy” (Michael P. Spradlin, paperback, 162 pages, $15), ask your favorite book seller or call the publisher at 810-664-8406.
