What they said about Wine Folly…
I really love this book! You don’t need to know anything about wine to understand this book.
Heidi Cowan
Madeline’s respectful but unfussy approach cuts through the mystique and makes wine approachable. I think she’s increased our enjoyment of the wine tasting and buying experience about 200% just from information and advice in the book and on the wonderful Wine Folly website.
S. Sloan
Wine Folly is a game changer. As a visual learner, the way this book is written and illustrated, makes wine so much easier to learn–and best of all–fun.
Becca
I purchased this for my work, I manage a restaurant that sells a lot of wine. My staff has been using this book to help themselves learn about wine and increase their knowledge to guide our customers to the right wine. Whether you’re a wine snob or amateur this book is fantastic.
