 What others have to say about The Good Life Guide to Enjoying
Wine.
- "Useful and informative tips on how to maximize the
enjoyment of wine."
Gerald D. Boyd
- "If you want to try, buy or sigh about wine this
is the book for you. Ray educates, entertains and
makes it easy for all to enjoy the Good Life with
wine".
Jill Ditmire, Food and Wine Writer
Indianapolis Star
- “To many of us in the wine education
profession Ray Johnson’s approach to wine (The
Good Life Guide to Enjoying Wine) is the one we
like to take, especially with new wine students.
Ray has written an excellent practical guide and
common sense approach to buying, serving, and
ENJOYING wine. Written with good cheer, humor,
and delightful quotations by various wine
notables (W. C. Fields??) this little book is
superb at demystifying the subject of wine. Even
the wine snobs could learn some simple basics
from this book. A good, quick read; one I will
now have to recommend to my students.”
Barry H. Gump, Ph.D.
Professor of Chemistry/Enology
California State University, Fresno
- " A most engaging entrée to wine
appreciation. Ray Johnson's concise and
comprehensible "how to" demystifies the
subject without patronizing the reader. Had
such a primer been around during my years of
self-education, I could have avoided many an
embarrassing moment and perhaps acquired the
confidence to enter the profession earlier
than I did."
David P. Jones, Wine Works
- “I can say it is also highly
recommended for us senior wine folks!
Even though I have been around the wine
world for a considerably longer time
than the author, I learned something new
on almost every page.”
Ralph E. Kunkee, Professor of
Enology, Emeritus University of
California, Davis
- “Ray Johnson has such a varied
background -retailing, wine service,
wine judging, travel in the U.S. and
Europe, and lately winemaking. He takes
all of that rich experience in wine and
distills it into a little gem of a book
for beginners. In fact, I am not a
beginner and I had a wonderful time
reading it.”
Hope Merletti Moffett,
Co-founder of Vineyard & Winery
Management
- "I've known Ray Johnson for
years and I think he is one of the
best in the business at making wine
accessible whether you're a beginner
or an expert. He strips away the
pretension from one of the world's
most unnecessarily intimidating
subjects. Like any great educator,
Ray strives to help his students
derive the same pleasure he
experiences. This book is loaded
with great insights for anyone
interested in wine."
Greg Quinn, General
Manager and Wine Director,
Indigo Restaurant, San Francisco
- From how to use a cork
puller to storing your wine
treasures, Ray Johnson's, The
Good Life Guide to Enjoying
Wine, will make understanding
wine as easy as your ABC's.
Tom Simoneau, The Wine
Guy, KSRO Radio
- “Ray Johnson’s brisk,
cut-to-the-chase approach to
wine appreciation, leavened
with a dollop of humor and
free of pretension, is just
what consumers are thirsting
for. If you’re just
tip-toeing into the world of
wine or simply need a
refresher on the pleasures
that await, this guide is
extremely handy.’’
Jerry Shriver, USA
Today
- "Halleluiah! Finally
a book on wine that
makes me, a beer guy,
want to tackle the world
of wine. No pretense
here, just a low key,
approachable and open
minded view of the world
of wine"
Pete Slosberg,
creator of Pete's
Wicked Ale and
founder of Pete's
Brewing Co.
- "You can learn a
whole lot about wine
here, and not spend
your life doing it.
A practical and
entertaining guide.”
