The Wine Snob's Dictionaryby David Lynch; David Kamp
Broadway Books 2008; US$ 9.99A nicely structured, lightly acidic addition to the handy Snob’s Dictionary series, decoding the baffling world of winespeak from A to Z. Wine Snob.

Their Wine Snob’s Dictionary delivers witty explication of both old-school oeno-obsessions (What's claret? Who's Michael Broadbent?) and such new-wave terms as "malolactic fermentation" and "fruit bomb." Among the other things Kamp and Lynch demystify: Finish: the Snob code-term for "aftertaste."

The Homebrewer's Companionby Charles Papazian
HarperCollins 2010; US$ 10.99More great advice from Charlie Papazian, homebrew master and author of the bestselling The Complete Joy of Homebrewing . "Many ask me, 'What's different about The Homebrewer's Companion ?' It's a book that I might have titled The Complete Joy of Homebrewing, Volume 2 .

My theme throughout is 'Keep it practical. Keep it useful.' I wanted to answer 10 years' worth of questions in this one volume. I did ... and I had... more...
