The New Wine Rules
This brief, cleverly written guide for beginners was written for former San Francisco Chronicle and Punch wine writer Jon Bonné. Its title provocatively implies that its time to replace some staid rules; Bonné supplies a framework for wine appreciation in an easy style and his “rules” —89 of them— include thing such as not to fear sweetness; not to worry about sulfites or tartrates (and why); to embrace serendipity as the most common source of stimulating wine- and-food pairings; and above all, to “drink the rainbow” of available colors, styles, and places of origin.
