5.0 out of 5 stars Great tool for at home learning!, April 13, 2004

This review is from: The Naked Grape: Introduction to Wine (DVD)

I've seen this DVD and have found it to be very useful. One of the best features about the DVD is that you can learn at your own pace. It can be intimidating to try experimenting with different wines if you're not sure what to look for and this made it very easy to try new ones out at home.

I've now used it to host my own wine tasting parties and I'm looking forward to hosting more!

This review is from: The Naked Grape: Introduction to Wine (DVD)

A "How To" drink, serve, buy and enjoy wine DVD! An informative untintimidating journey. Ian White shares his expanded knowledge in a fun, upbeat presentation. He expands on wines from Chardonnay to Merlot to Zinfandel, a good broad perpespective on wine varietals. The DVD offers lots of good, common-sense advice on simple tasting,how to buy wine and how to taste and enjoy wine.

A good buy.

This review is from: The Naked Grape: Introduction to Wine (DVD)

I received this as a Christmas gift along with a wine basket, what fun! FUN MUSIC, nice locations.

I had some friends over and after dinner we popped in the DVD and had our own little wine tasting. Each person brought a different bottle and we all participated in our own learning experience.

Since I am a novice in the wine world, Ian's presentation was very enlightening. I do feel as if I can find my way through a dinner paring now, and do it with ease. Actually having the wine there and tasting it as Ian presented it was a great hands on learning experience.

If you are trying to understand this fast growing world of wine, TUNE INTO this DVD! You'll be glad you did.

Be creative and make a fun night of this with friends.
