Matt Kramer, author and columnist for Wine Spectator, calls The New California Wine some of the most insightful wine writing you'll read anywhere, claiming it offers the real skinny on cutting-edge California wine. Hugh Johnson, the author of The World Atlas of Wine, agrees, finding Jon Bonne's clear-eyed perspective to offer a fresh look at a mature wine culture [that's] heading in surprising directions. Both recognize not only Bonne's expertise-according to Kramer, he's somebody who's on the ground, knows his stuff, and couldn't care less about offending the Establishment-but also how easily he distills that knowledge into what Johnson recognizes as essential, pithy lessons, such as these vinological maxims: (1) You'll never need to own more than two types of wine glasses. (2) Smell the cork. It really does tell you something. Smell the glass before you pour wine into it. (3) If you've heard of the Champagnes on the list, you're probably paying too much for them.

      Narrator Emily Woo Zeller's melodious voice perfectly enhances this informed and informative manual for today's wine drinker. She narrates with clarity and verve, and her tone makes these 89 new rules approachable. For an audiobook replete with suggestions for buying, serving, storing, and drinking wine, Zeller's straightforward delivery and appropriate pacing work well. She handles the challenging French, Italian, and German names of grape varietals with ease. And her performance helps convince the listener of the rightness of author Jon Bonn�'s premise that wine snobbery must die and that any listener can learn the basics. Zeller reads this audiobook with an informal yet convincing delivery. She adroitly advances the numerous tips and leaves the listen with a case of useful ideas.
