Jim Hammond's New Book, “A Wine Guide for Lovers... of Wine” is Released

Corrales, NM

"What's the best way to become familiar with any wine? Well the bad news and the good news are the same: you have to involve yourself in the sampling of wines from many wine regions, countries and types." So starts a new e-book by Jim Hammond, the Southwestern Wine Guy, that is designed to give every wine lover-or would-be wine lover-tips, anecdotes and solid information about how to enjoy one of the world's favorite beverages.

The book is packed with information such as how many types of wine glasses one really needs and the surprising origins of white Zinfandel, the best-selling wine in the United States. Other valuable information includes how to survive a summer wine festival and how to conduct a wine tasting for one or for a crowd. Hammond's friendly, humorous style makes for an easy read, and answers questions such as how much to pay for a wine. (Hint: not necessarily so much except for those very special occasions.)

The Kindle book is available now for $4.99 at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00M7NPL84.
