"There is only one reason that the American wine enthusiast is now completely enamored with German and Austrian wines: Terry Theise! This glorious book not only brilliantly showcases one man's love affair with all the beauties that can flow from the bottle, it definitively makes the case for the wines that are the most superbly suited to be served with food."-Chef Charlie Trotter"Terry Theise's humane, subtle and engaging book illustrates the superiority of wisdom to mere knowledge. Read and be richer."-Andrew Jefford, columnist for Decanter and The World of Fine Wine"Impassioned, insistent, and inimitable, Terry Theise is America's foremost wine philosopher. Lots of writers can explain the "what" of wine. Terry, uniquely, inspires us with the 'why'. I devoured Reading Between the Wines; it's the single best book I've ever read on why wine matters."-Karen MacNeil, author of The Wine Bible"If you think you know something about wine, try Terry Theise's Reading Between the Wines because until you do, you haven't really started."-Tom Stevenson, author of Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia
