Tasting Notes

Format: Paperback

Condition: Poor Condition — £3.59
What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

A skilful blend of recollections of the author's time as a commercial wine buyer and an insider's list of wines that are great to drink but thankfully don't carry extortionate price tags, Tasting Notes is a must for anyone who loves good wine, knows something of the subject and wants to get off the beaten track in their quest for finding decent wines that are affordable and pleasurable.

Written in a refreshingly chatty but informative way, Tasting Notes provides an insightful guide for finding wines today that are amongst the best in the world and yet remain known only to a few.

Tasting Notes is a highly personal look back at the world of commercial wine tasting and buying. It provides today's enthusiastic wine drinker with an insider's guide to finding great wines that lay largely off the beaten track.

Mark Slaney is a fourth-generation hotelier who found a passion for wine at an early age. After a spell travelling the vineyards of France in his early twenties he became wine buyer for a five star hotel. He has spoken about wine on BBC radio and has written on wine for newspapers.

He has also written fiction under the pen name Mark MacDuff. His first novel, The Dragunov Deception, was published in 2012.
