Wine Folly: The Essential Guide to Wine

The illustrations and charts make complex concepts so accessible. I'm curious whether this style was driven by a desire to make wine education more approachable or if it evolved during the creative process.

Most wine guides seem intimidating, but this one felt like a friendly conversation. Did the author intentionally aim to demystify pairing for beginners or casual drinkers?

The book covers a broad spectrum but also highlights specific regions. I'm wondering if this was based on personal expertise, popularity, or a desire to showcase lesser-known wines.
