"White is funny, clever, brisk and talks on the page as if she’s sharing a glass with you ... a hard recommend for beginners, but also anyone who still wonders, for example, how and when to decant." — Victoria Moore, The Telegraph
"Reading Kelli A White’s words is like chatting with a best friend who also happens to be a wine pro — it’s honest, engaging, entirely without pretension, totally relatable and utterly fascinating." — Club Enologique
"Next time I’m asked about wine-breathing gadgets, I shall send the applicant straight to the Guide to Wine Gear section of Kelli A White’s new book Wine Confident: There’s No Wrong Way To Enjoy Wine..." — Telegraph
"For those becoming interested in wine but unsure of how to proceed, this is a terrific book." — NY Times
Kelli White loves every aspect of wine (‘especially the science-y bits’) and wants to ignite the same kind of passion in her readers. Here, she introduces the many ways in which we can taste it, talk it, appreciate it, choose it, understand it, and navigate its enjoyment with confidence. There are countless ways to engage with wine. If you are a history buff, it has a multi-thousand-year story to plumb. A lover of language and travel? Wine is being made in more countries than ever before and on every continent (except Antarctica). A foodie? Wine is a natural companion to food, and the two can interact in unexpectedly thrilling ways. For those who have fallen in love with wine already, this book is an imaginative and practical guide to embarking on its greatest adventures. For those who haven’t yet, it is the spark to light the fuse…

Kelli White was 21 when she first tasted wine and had no idea, until then, of the future that awaited her. Her quick wits and easy communication style helped her catch up quickly as she trained as a sommelier in New York City and Napa Valley, and then, in 2015, published her first book Napa Valley, Then & Now to great acclaim. She is now an award-winning author, popular speaker and highly entertaining wine educator.
