This book is very slick in that it LOOKS good, it is actually beautiful, however, that is just about as far as it goes. For an absolute beginner to use this book, it is barely adequate, but not really excellent. Even in his photos, the author mistakenly allowed unclarified wine to be displayed which is a very poor technique. Clarifying (fining) is barely mentioned and it is clearly (nice pun) shown in his unclear wines. He basically has the same recipe for every wine: raisin wine with some fruit to flavor it. Since this is the first book on wine in about 20 years, I was excited to get it, however, it is just a great disappointment and a bad investment. The only thing new is his marijuana wines, and they are still just raisin wine with marijuana flavoring. Not impressed! I do like his constant preaching on chemicals but I think he really does not understand chemistry and the difference between materials that leave a lasting and dangerous effect (e.g. sulfates) and bentonite clay. This fellow is merely an amateur (as so many of us are) that does an amateur job of making wines. I DO applaud anyone who gets off their behind and does something besides being glued to telly or iphones.
His recipes are boring and mundane. I do not recommend this book and would never buy it.
