good for rookies

not bad very educational and enjoyable. I'm already a wine maker and didn't learn anything too new but it's a great book if you've been thinking about making wine.

Very Unfocused

I tuned out by the time it got to the wine making part because it was so poorly written.

Mostly not about wine making

The book spends more time talking about wine tasting than it does about wine making. Then it gives only a perfunctory walk through of the wine making process itself. I know this book is for novices, but it fails to progress past that — there is little reason more time couldn’t be spent giving depth beyond what is here. For example, they don’t even talk about making white wines.

not worth the price of postage

What would have made Wine Making for the Total Novice better?

i am a home winemaker so i was hoping some a fair amount of detail. this was not the case:simplistic. I suppose if you ere making wine from welch's it might be helpful.

Would you ever listen to anything by Kyle Richards again?

yeswho spoke it was not the issue; it

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Dan McGowan?

not sure

What character would you cut from Wine Making for the Total Novice?

not the character, the book

Any additional comments?

waste of time to listen or read
