Very clear and professional. I was impressed with the knowledge of the Food Scholar and how easy it was to remember the main points. I have listened to the CD multiple times. Each time I add to what I learned the prior time. I think it would make a great gift for college students. But, personally, I just enjoyed learning all the details about wine etiquette and the factors in selecting the best wine for the situaiton. Enjoy!

These CDs are a must have for every busy professional or recent college graduate. Whether you're interested in getting a solid background on the key rules of dining etiquette etiquette and wine selection or just a refresher on the must-have rules on the way to the restaurant, these CDs are for you.

Although drinking good wine isn't difficult, learning about wine can be. Once on a winery tour a vintner explained that there are 15,000 different choices that can be made from grape to bottle. Sometimes picking out a wine can seem daunting. Food Scholar's Wine Selection & Etiquette does a superior job of teaching those of us who would like to learn more without the information being overkill.

While there are more comprehensive books out there on Wine, I really like this book because it excels at being written for the average person. The book is divided into logical sections. I also like that the effect of climates in a region on the grape are covered. This is an easy way to tell what kind of wine you are getting just by looking at where the grape was grown.

This book will enhance your knowledge as well as your ability to pick out wines that you and your guests may enjoy. I would highly recommend this book to those who want to learn about wine, as this book does an excellent job of giving a basic education about many of the wines of the world.

The last book on CD my wife and I bought was average at best: mens' voices for female characters, etc. And what's the alternative on the radio? Pop music or Howard Stern? I spend twenty percent of my waking life in my car. I might as well spend it wisely. The Food Scholar is easy listening and presented in a way that makes the information easy to learn and remember. And the next time you go out to a nice restaurant, some Myles from Sideways type guy won't make you feel like an idiot.

I purchased this CD last year and have listened to it many times. I just bought another one and the Food Scholar Dining Etiqutte CD Dining Etiquette (Food Scholar Series Volume I)for my nephew who is a senior in college and will be interviewing for jobs soon. These are great tapes for anyone who finds themselves dining with work superiors or clients - times when making your best impression is most important.

This CD provides invaluable information on the main varieties of wine and walks one through the proper etiquette of ordering wine for a group in a restaurant. Also includes helpful wine tasting and food pairing tips and information on specialty wines like ports. A wonderful resource for those who want or need to learn quickly about wine!
