Whether you need to impress a date or a client at that new chichi restaurant down the street, this video lesson will get you up to speed on all things wine in less than an hour. Afraid you won't remember it all? Don't worry, a pocket-sized pamphlet outlining the basics is included. Novices need not be intimidated; this how-to starts at the very beginning with a tour of the wine bottle. A series of actors and a couple of experts speak to such dilemmas as what type of opener is best, what wine goes with what meal, and how to negotiate the restaurant wine ritual and keep one's dignity in tact. This 53-minute video, part of the smartly written, well-produced
No-Brainers series, doles out real information while cleverly acknowledging the pretentious potential of this hobby in comic scenarios. In winespeak, this tape is full-bodied, has a nice complexity to it and a good finish.
