About this ebook
Its complicated! Thats a simple way to describe the sort of relationship that seemingly defies simple explanations. Like a love triangle, money, taste, and wine are caught in a complicated relationship affecting every aspect of the wine industry and wine enthusiast experience. As wine economist and best-selling author Mike Veseth peels back the layers of the money-taste-wine story, he discovers the wine buyers biggest mistake (which is to confuse money and taste) and learns how to avoid it, sips and swirls dump bucket wines and Treasure Island wines, and toasts anything but Champagne. He bulks up with big-bag, big-box wines and realizes that sometimes the best wine is really a beer. Along the way he questions wines identity crisis, looks down his nose at wine snobs and cheese bores, follows the money, surveys the restaurant war battleground, and imagines wines that even money cannot buy before concluding that money, taste, and wine might have a complicated relationship but sometimes they have the power to change the world. His engaging and enlightening book will surprise, inform, inspire, and delight anyone with an interest in wineor complicated relationships.

I really love the name of this book so much about the money, taste and wine hey yo! this really gives music to my ears a lot on another level and this is also a nice ring to it & I'm just obsessed with all of this and man I wish I had this money, cash, dollar bills and wine like this in real life. I'll so be living the rich fancy life and good old luxury life for myself being the happiest and richest person around there ever is sitting there in the bath tub and jaquzzi being filled with stacks and piles of dollar bills being bathed in wealth and swimming around in wealth as I would love to have me a wheelbarrow carrying around stacks and piles of dollar bills on the wheelbarrow, I'd definitely be having the time of my life in heaven and paradise at that I would love this rich life then having stacks of dollar bills on my bed or having mountains of cash on the floor as well as I would give some or half of this money away to others in the community of need and support!
