"I soon learned that wine is not merely learning about a beverage, but also understanding the history, language, culture, and traditions of the people and countries where each wine is made. Wine is a very complicated subject, one that reinvents itself every year with a new vintage; the fact that wines constantly change makes for a fascinating and a lifelong study."
Kevin Zraly, Wine Educator and Author of the Windows on the World Complete Wine Course
What a career and what a storyteller! The inimitable Kevin Zraly is an award-winning wine writer and one of the world's foremost wine educators. I recently had the pleasure of chatting with Kevin on Instagram Live.
Kevin has been teaching wine for 50 years and has written eight books, including his annually updated Windows on the World Complete Wine Course, which has sold more than four million copies - making it the number one wine book in the United States. The book is now in its 35th edition and is an indispensable resource for all wine lovers. In addition to essential information about grapes, wines, and regions, the newest edition also includes a fascinating chapter that details Kevin's career and the evolution of food and wine culture in the US over the last 50 years.
