THE CORK JESTER’S GUIDE TO WINE
Jennifer Rosen

Clerisy Press $ 14.95

222 pages

This book will thrill beginners and seasoned wine enthusiasts.

Jennifer Rosen’s inimitable and entertaining style of writing will make you laugh and learn at the same time, something only a few well-conceived books can accomplish.

It deals with practically everything consumers encounter all the time. From grape varieties, their taste characteristics to wine components, tasting, bottle sizes, storage, ordering wine in restaurants, matching food and wine, and a variety of other relevant topics.

After reading The Cork Jester’s Guide to Wine, you will be able to appreciate and evaluate your preferred tipple better, chose bottles with more confidence in both restaurants and stores, and pay less for well-made but less marketed products.

This book should be on the shelves of all sommeliers and consumers alike as it deals with both sides of the wine world – suppliers and consumers.

This is a lovely book written by an author who loves wines.


Hrayr Berberoglu took early retirement after lecturing on restaurant management and conducting wine, beer and spirits seminars for over a quarter of a century.

Now he consults and writes to increase wine, beer and liquor awareness. He conducts seminars and would be pleased to consider your requests. To peruse the list of his published books and order please contact him at hirayrberberoglu_3@sympatico.ca
