This book is so entertaining that you don't realize how much you are learning. I wish all my schoolbooks could have been written with so much humor and pizazz,I would have learned a lot more
and had a lot more fun doing it. Every paragraph makes you laugh, learn and easily comprehend a very complicated subject matter.

The writing is superb, the content complete, they thought of everything, even answers to questions most people wouldn't even think of asking. This book has all the right elements - plot, drama, humor, history, and sex, assembled in a way that makes it easy to digest and enjoyable to read. Keep it handy for reference, and to liven up a party.

I plan to keep several on hand to give as gifts to my friends who enjoy books and wine as much as I do. As with all good books I hated to finish it - knowing how really hard it is to find a REALLY good read. It makes me hungry for more - what's next, Sisters?

I loved this book!! The humorous style in this book is entertaining but does not detract from the valuable information in it. My husband liked it also (so it is a book for men as well). The Saucy Sisters take the mystique out of wine selections and etiquette, without removing the romance associated with enjoying a good (not necessarily expensive) bottle of wine with that special person! Buy this book and be able to converse intelligently with that wine snob that you dread seeing at parties!

Well done! Informative and enjoyable from beginning to end. I bought 10 of these for relatives, girlfriends, and my daughter in college. They are all delighted with the book. It has become a favorite birthday, wedding shower, and thank you for being a friend gift ( along with a bottle of wine, of course).

I have a surprise for you guys who think The Saucy Sisters' Guide to Wine is just for women. It's a great read for guys, too. I not only found it hilarious, but actually learned a good deal about wine and the opposite sex. In a recent movie, Mel Gibson had the ability to hear what women were thinking. Now us guys have the opportunity to read what women are thinking... and how wine plays into everything from popularity and love to sex and health. On page 34, I discovered that, because I enjoy Cabernet Sauvignon, I'm a bit abrasive and immature... but that my depth of character reveals me to be an asset in business and financial concerns... a man who is good for the long haul. Because I also like merlot, I'm supposed to be passionate with music and food. Maybe that's why I write and sing love songs. All jokes aside, this is the perfect gift to give your girlfriend, wife, friend, sister and mother... or anyone else you'd like to see "uncorked." Congratulations wine divas on one of the best books ever written in this genre.

A delightful book that is fun, and easy, and wonderfully informative.

What a treat! I am giving a copy of this wonderful book to all my girlfriends for Christmas this year. It is well researched, well written and so damn funny!!!! At last, I can impress everyone I know with my knowledge of wines.

This book is a must-have for all who like to drink wine and love to laugh. Don't be fooled by the hilarity-- this book is full of great advice and helpful information-- I learned something useful on every page. The perfect holiday gift for the girl who has everything-- I'm giving one to every "girl" I know. The Saucy Sisters rock!

After their first book, I thought I had heard it all from the Saucy Sisters! Wrong! Their new book "The Saucy Sisters Guide to Wine - What Every Girl Should Know Before She Unscrews" is a hilarious tome on all that is wine. It is entirely entertaining while actually imparting great information on buying, serving etc. - the do's, the don'ts, and the awww go aheads! Every gal should have one of these "wine bibles". Love-love-love this book. If you like wine and like to laugh - this one's for you!

This book has zero pretension and only seeks to pass on the authoresses love of wine and good company to readers!

I began reading books on wine when I began to crave more knowledge about the beverage which I was beginning to REALLY enjoy in my middle-aged years. I didn't care much for wine when I was younger. Those were my coca-cola years. I wanted something with more depth, nuance, subtlety, history, etc. when I decided to give wine another try. The books out there are vast and varied from wine snobs to wine slobs and everything in between. I had read quite a few of them before stumbling onto the Saucy Sisters Guide to Wine.

Barbara and Beverly take a subject with the potential to drown you in unecessary trivia and facts and make it as friendly as a plate of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies still warm from the oven. They poke fun, they crack jokes and they invite you into their hearts, their homes and their world of wine enjoyment with the welcoming embrace of family at a reunion.

I learned more from this book than from the thousands of pages I'd read before and I enjoyed it INFINITELY more!!! If you only have the time and/or inclination to read ONE book about wine, make it this one. You won't regret it!!! If you find you still want more, you'll find them in the most recent updated version of Everything Wine Book: From Chardonnay to Zinfandel, All You Need to Make the Perfect Choice (Everything: Cooking) and on their website[...].

This book is one of the most informative and entertaining guides to wine that I've ever found. The authors are dynamic and they talk to both the novice wine drinker, as well as someone looking for quick answers to food pairings and easy drink recipes to use when entertaining. Buy this book!
