Misleading

It is a good book. But isn’t really what most people researching sommelier are looking for.

Nothing, horrible and useless

Nothing about the wine, it’s just Amandas success story which i don’t care at all

Waste of time. Not about the title.

They need to change the title to stories about Sommeliers. This book is not about how to become a Sommelier.
The author spends more time telling stories and trying to sound eloquent and artistic than talking about content.
I think she likes hearing herself or flattering herself rather than giving content for readers, on how to become a Sommelier.
This was a waste of time, and no help if you truly want to become a Sommelier.
