The Best of Wines - VHS

This educational video provides a look at the process of winemaking - from growing grapes, to the fermentation process, to bottling, to tasting - with a focus on the vineyards and wineries of California's Napa Valley. Intending to "demystify the culture of wine," wine expert Bob Bellus and master sommelier Fred Dame provide aspiring oenophiles with information on various kinds of wine, explaining points that distinguish them. Beginners will learn to tell the difference between a Merlot, Zinfandel, Semillon, and other varieties, with background to help them sample wines more thoughtfully. ~ Alice Duncan, Rovi
