About the Author:
Jancis Robinson has been called “the most respected wine critic and journalist in the world” by Decanter magazine.

She is the recipient of four James Beard Awards, and was the first person outside of the wine trade to pass the rigorous Master of Wine exams. She maintains a website and newsletter focused on fine wine writing at JancisRobinson.com. She lives in London.
Review:
"Jancis Robinson, a British wine writer renowned for her many big, glossy tomes, has come up with a compact, breezy, one-shot wine seminar for novices. . . . If carignan or claret are still vinous mysteries to you, look here for answers." (Florence Fabricant, New York Times)
". . . the authoritative voice of a master of wine who has been educating us about it for four decades. Don't expect gospel—just an invitation to learn the basics and fall in love with wine on your own terms." (David McIntyre, Washington Post)
“Robinson teaches and nudges with the brevity, wit and clarity of someone whose life has been dedicated to wine.” (The Chicago Tribune)
