VINE LINES

A CHEERY AND HUMOROUS
EXPLORATION OF WINE
TERMINOLOGY
Judy Valon,
Illustrated by Roger Roberts
Illustrated by the well-known Australian
cartoonist Roger Roberts, this charming,
pocket-sized book explores the
curious realm of wine termnology
by creating a pictoral lexicon on the
“far side” of a wine world where its
language (“barnyard,” “exotic nose”)
is taken literally. Throughout, wine educator Judy Valon gives a serious and solid
primer on wine tasting, proper entertaining and serving procedures, and,
of course, the functioning definitions of common tasting terms.
