The One™ Stemware, Books & DVDs

The 2011 edition of my Wine Buying Guide for Everyone is completely updated, featuring only my Top Ten wines in every price and style category.  How does a wine make the Top Ten?  It's what I call a FAVE wine:

• Food friendly - Wine was meant for food!
• Authentic - The beauty of wine is its diversity!  A wine should be true to its place and grape, rather than made to please a critic's palate.  Authentic wines ensure that there's something for everyone, and every dish, and always something new and exciting to discover.
• Value-priced for its quality and style
• Extraordinary quality!

Andrea takes the mystery out of pairing food with wine and makes it easy to choose the best wines to accompany everything from barbecue to rack of lamb. Hundreds of wine and food pairing suggestions are highlighted by superb wine-friendly recipes.

At last, a wine book that makes selecting and enjoying wine truly simple. Never again will you have to fear pricey bottles that don't deliver, snobby wine waiters, foreign terminology, or encyclopedic restaurant wine lists. You'll be able to buy or order wine with confidence—and get just the wine you want—by learning how the "Big Six" basic styles taste and how to read any wine label.

What’s the best way to learn about wine? By tasting, of course! My new wine course DVD lets us learn together with 10 fun, interactive tasting lessons.

The Master Edition includes all material on the For Everyone edition plus an additional hour of Master Classes on dessert wine, Italy and Spain, signature Southern Hemisphere reds and Aromatic Whites.
 
Shot entirely on location in wine country with some famous special wine guests, I hope you’ll find this course is both fun to watch and helpful. Topics Include:

• Wine Basics - How to taste like a pro, and the 4 V's of Wine - Variety, Vineyard Region, Vintner, Vintage

The One™ White Wine Stems: The only glass you’ll ever need for all white wines.

 
Whether aromatic and delicate, or rich and oaky, your favorite white wines will shine better in this glass than than any other, including the all the grape- and style-specific stems from Riesling to Sauvignon Blanc to Montrachet.

It's nice to know you can simplify your wine life (and save money) without having to "settle" on an inferior stem.  I have always said wine doesn't have to be expensive to be good, and with these glasses it's true for stemware, too.  And when you do splurge on a special white, this stem will help you make the most of it.  Enjoy!

*My glasses are lead-free, and dishwasher safe (and designed so they fit the dishwasher).

 

The One™ Red Wine Stems:  The only glass you'll ever need for all red wines.

 
The One™ for red outperforms them all for every red wine, young or old, steal or splurge. It even beats the "Bordeaux" stem with Bordeaux and Cab, and the "Burgundy" stem with Burgundy and Pinot Noir. Try my glass with your favorite wine, and you'll experience it at its best.

I have always looked for ways to simplify wine so you can spend more time enjoying it.  You don't have to add a wing to your house to have the right glass to optimize all your favorite red wines, or spend more on your glasses than you do your wine.  I have tested this glass with thousands of wines, against all the best benchmark glasses out there.  It outperforms them all for every red wine, young or old, steal or splurge.  It even beats the "Bordeaux" stem with Bordeaux and Cab, and the "Burgundy" stem with Burgundy and Pinot Noir.  Try my glass with your favorite wine, and you'll experience it at its best.  Enjoy!
