Wine
for Women
A
Guide to Buying, Pairing, and Sharing Wine
By Leslie
Sbrocco
"Forget
the notion that women sip white while men slurp red (women actually
drink more red than white these days). It is not about what's in
the bottle but how we approach what's in the bottle. Women tend
to be interested in personal recommendation, food ideas, and helpful
tips on finding wines that simply taste good." - Leslie Sbrocco,
"Wine for Women"
Wine
for Women wasn't written to create a male/female divide. Sbrocco's
goal is to highlight wine information for women's daily lives because
women account for 65% of today's wine consumers. Sbrocco has chosen
to highlight Buying, Pairing, and Sharing because women - "head
to the store
buy something to drink
take it home to
serve with dinner
with our family and friends."
Buying:
choosing wine by taste and style. Highlighting wine regions through
labels (label links: Place, Name Game, Sweetness, Taste.
Pairing:
advice on enjoying wine and food together. Expect shopping list
and design-a-dinner suggestions - including holidays.
Sharing:
addresses common questions about storing and serving wine, giving
wine as gifts, and entertaining with wine in different situations.
It's
nice to see an expert who knows women looking for wine are not looking
for a "What's Hot, What's Not" list. We want something
that fits our meals, to please our friends. Wine for Women
takes the guess work out of wine selections. Those who enjoy wine
on special occasions or on a regular basis will find Wine For
Women indispensable.
Blessed
are those able to combine their lives' passions with employment.
