The Everyday Guide to Wines of Italy

De: Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan, The Great Courses

Narrado por: Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan

No place on Earth has a more ancient and important tradition of wine-making than Italy. Thousands of years before wine became commonplace in France or the Napa Valley, Italians were producing their own unique varieties and making wine an essential part of Italian - and human - culture.

Now with the six lectures of The Everyday Guide to Wines of Italy, you can experience the dynamism of Italian wine for yourself and become your own expert in the tastes, traditions, and innovations from history’s definitive wine-making regions. Delivered by acclaimed Master of Wine Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan, one of the foremost authorities on wines around the world, this course is a chance for you to embark on a delicious, interactive, and unforgettable tasting tour through a country that is equal parts picturesque, romantic, and mysterious.

Great introduction to Italian wine

Straightforward introduction to key Italian wine regions and varietals, including tasting profiles for each.

Great quick overview of Italian Wines

Quick overview, organized by geographic region. Whites then reds in each chapter. I listened to her full guide, but I wanted downloaded this for more details and to prepare for an Italian wine tasting.

Tasting Notes

Should be titled "Tasting Notes on Italian Wines." The narrator gives tasting notes as she tries Italian wines.

Awesome!

Learned a lot
We are wine aficionados, but found much new and valuable info in this course.

Very interesting

I found the info helpful. The host very much enjoys the subject of wine and it shows in her expression. This was a very engaging course.

Outstanding lecture!

Jennifer Simonetti-Bryan is an exceptionally outstanding instructor very knowledgeable & experienced in the wine industry. I learned a great deal of information on wine & spirits that I did not know before & will now apply while wine tasting & being a wine connoisseur myself.

This is a terrible waste of money

Boring, If I wanted to listen to somebody taste wine... I would have drank it myself. Don't throw your money away

Basic and generalized

it's not terrible if you have almost no Italian wine knowledge, but the material is mostly very introductory. she also mispronounces things quite a lot. she seems lovely and the MW certification is ridiculously difficult to obtain, but I was looking for something more advanced.

Incomplete not worth the credit

Very basic
Talks about lots of key varietals but skips so much should be 3x longer.

Not worth the price
