The guide for more fun in the glass. "Wines are like cats. They don't always let you pet them right away." When it comes to wine, things can get a bit pretentious. Not with Thomas "The Wine Saint" Hertlein. The former owner of the legendary Munich establishment Die Blaue Donau and an excellent wine connoisseur is a friend of clear words. This is also true in this book, where he casually and pointedly imparts fundamental knowledge and explains how to properly handle wine, develop one's own taste, and recognize a truly great drop. With his infectious passion and his consistently unique approach to the subject of wine, Hertlein is rightly regarded as the Jamie Oliver of the wine scene. Whether it's ancient Bordeaux, elegant Pinot Noir, or fresh Veltliner - those who drink with the "Wine Saint" get to know wine from a whole new perspective and have a lot of fun in the process.
