This is a follow-up to the authors' 2006 What to Eat with What You Drink. Basically, at this point, the authors are just updating and recycling their material. All of their books are just slightly adjusted versions of each other.

This one is adjusted for the better over their 2006 book. I still have the quibble of it being slow work to look up something specific. Until Kindle fine-tunes their search tool (which they are doing bit by bit with each update), attempting to use "search" is nearly as time-consuming and onerous and tap-tap-tapping your way through the very long wine dictionary.

This book is also (slightly) less pretentious than the last one. And while a lot of the information mirrors their other books, it seems to have been reworded for clarity. Maybe practice makes perfect.

For the $1.99 I paid for the book, it will more than earn its keep on my tablet. Compared to the previous books of the series, I'm going four stars. It's probably being a little too generous, but Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ insists on not letting us have that half-star option. Still, I think the Wine Folly books are easier to use and more attuned to the part of the population that just wants a decent wine with dinner without having to take out a second mortgage.
