"White Wine Sauvignon Blanc by Redcliffe from Marlborough, New Zealand. If you've ever made broth from lobster shells and shrimp heads, you'll recognize the scent melding into this sauvignon: carapace on a gooseberry bush. If you can get past the bad pun, the fruit itself has complexity and amplitude, ripened to flavors... "

- Soft and restrained aromatics, but clean and easy to enjoy, with moderate green apple and grassy notes that pick up a touch of spice on the finish. Ready to drink now.

- Robust, hearty and full bodied describe not just a Cabernet Sauvignon but also this comprehensive wine guide for the novice oenophile. Oldman, who has taught wine courses for more than 10 years boils the basics of wine down to 108 simple chapters (here called shortcuts). He proves the dirty little secret of wine appreciation is that there's just not that much to it. While Oldman says this isn't a reference book, it may be best used that way. Without the benefit of a flight of tasting wines, the information is overwhelming. Yet to look up wines by type or region, or to learn how to order in read more...a restaurant, Oldman's guide overflows with succinct, useful advice. Those determined to read it straight through will find Oldman's anecdotal style makes the subject lighthearted and fun. Each shortcut comes with even more shortcuts: a cheat sheet summary, wine picks by price range, a pronunciation table and suggestions for food pairings. (hide)

- If you've ever made broth from lobster shells and shrimp heads, you'll recognize the scent melding into this sauvignon: carapace on a gooseberry bush. If you can get past the bad pun, the fruit itself has complexity and amplitude, ripened to flavors of green pear and guava. Serve it witha salad of lobster and prawns with avacado. -Wines & Spirits
