The best sommeliers understand their customers; guiding them and putting them at ease to ensure an enjoyable experience. Much as he would do in his restaurant, sommelier Sohm, wine director of Le Bernardin and a partner in the eponymous Aldo Sohm Wine Bar, treats readers as if he were standing at their table: warmly, directly, helpfully. This book, cowritten by Muhlke, a contributing editor at Bon Appétit, lives up to its name, covering several topics (types of grapes, wine regions, appropriate glassware, food pairings) with just enough depth to assist without overwhelming readers. The result is a breezy but not shallow book, with an abundance of sidebars and other notes that add detail. Sohm's winning personality shines throughout. Even advanced wine drinkers will enjoy tangents, such as his take on wines with bad reputations. Droll line drawings add to the appeal. VERDICT A terrific guide for dipping into or reading start to finish. Highly recommended where books on wine are popular.--Peter Hepburn, Coll. of the Canyons Lib., Santa Clarita, CA

From the newbie to the connoisseur, anyone that has an interest in wine will find this guide suited to her experience level. Celebrated sommelier Sohm packs Wine Simple with information intended to educate rather than intimidate. Dedicating chapters to how wine is made, key winemaking regions of the world, how to taste wine, and how to evolve your palate, Sohm offers tips and suggestions based on his own experience running two award-winning New York City restaurants, Le Bernardin and Aldo Sohm Wine Bar. Sohm interweaves his often-entertaining anecdotes about working as a sommelier throughout the book, and encourages the reader to be open in their approach to wine-tasting. He also urges readers to remember the cardinal rule: just because a wine is expensive doesn't mean it's good. Plenty of infographics and illustrations add to the book's engaging accessibility. It also includes a section on pairing wine and food, with an essential pairing matrix that provides recommendations by grape varietal.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2019, American Library Association.)
