The original wine guide specifically for Albertans is back!
Shelley Boettcher's popular guide to the tastiest wines available in Alberta returns, with all-new reviews of 150 wines priced under $25. Uncorked! is the perfect pocket guide to buying wine on a budget.
Shelley's descriptions are snappy, succinct and straightforward. Even novices will feel confident about picking out a wine—for any occasion—with this guide. Each wine entry includes fun wine trivia, food pairing and "uncork" suggestions (occasions for which the wine is particularly suitable) and an image of the label, to help identify the wine. Shelly even includes an icon of the closure used on the bottle (helpful if your corkscrew is broken!).
Uncorked! takes all the guess work out of buying wine. The book covers everything from reds and whites to rosés, sparkling wines, and sweet and fortified wines. It also includes Shelley's best tips on cellaring.
Born and raised in Alberta, Shelley Boettcher is the executive editor of Wine Access magazine, and a weekly wine columnist and blogger at the Calgary Herald. Her stories have appeared in magazines and newspapers around the world. She holds a master's degree in journalism from the University of Western Ontario, and an intermediate wine and spirits certificate from the Wine and Spirit Education Trust. She has also studied with the International Sommelier Guild.
