I'm going to actively try to avoid recipe books here in my links (that said, that means you're missing out on Vintage Spirits & Forgotten Cocktails, Death & Co, Potions of the Caribbean, and The Joy of Mixology so.... YMMV)

Liquid Intelligence - IMHO must have guide on the technical aspects of bartending. This book is amazing and is the first thing I share with my coworkers that want to broaden their knowledge

The Drunken Botanist - In depth examination of the plants that go into making our favorite drinks, beers, booze, and sundry

Bitters - Has history of bitters, along with instructional on how to make your own.

Shrubs Kind of recipes but also talks about how to make shrubs and good proportions for them, which isn't super common.

Wine Folly Do you want a good intro-to-wine with good, clear reference sheets about styles and pairings? Here's your book

The Wine Bible Want to know way more than you ever thought you wanted to know about wine? This is what you want to be reading.

The Beer Bible - Same as above, but for beer instead of wine.

Holy Smoke! Its Mezcal Mezcal can be hard to pin down and I've found this one to be decent. Includes a table of things that were available in the US at time of publishing and the author's opinions on quality.

Vermouth - pretty in depth history on vermouth, focusing on its place in American cocktail Culture

Imbibe! In depth history of early cocktail culture, focusing on Jerry Thomas and the Bon Vivant's Companion

...I'm sure I could think of more, given the time. I'm trying to just delve into things currently on my shelf, and not in my wishlist.

Hey there! Fellow college student here. I’m not sure about your school, but I did some research with my school’s viticulture program, it eventually led me to working on some vineyards and learning the ins and outs. I would definitely recommend getting the Wine Bible or Windows on the World they’re insanely informative and helpful. Also, look around town for a wine bar, they usually do weekly tastings, if you’re in a bigger town, Total Wine does monthly classes and tastings a lot. Trader Joe’s has a lot of decently priced good wines, I would check it out, good luck!

Wine can be intimidating, as there are so many different styles, and even when you find a great wine from a particular winery, it will still vary from year to year.

That said, there a number of ways to get into wine.

  1. Take a class. I'm lucky being in California, as we have relatively relaxed liquor laws with regard to wine. There are all kinds of classes that will introduce you into wine and wine tasting.

  2. Wine bars. Most good wine bars offer flights, usually 4 3oz pours of different wines. Find out what you like and what you don't.

  3. Go to a good liquor store that specializes in wine, and ask questions. There are lots of good wines in the $15 to $30 range, and a good store will have someone knowledgeable you can make recommendations. Also, follow the recommendation on how to serve the wine re temperature, glassware, need to decanter, etc.

  4. Stick with a style or region for a month at a time. Cabs for January, Pinot Noir for Feb, Chard for March, etc. Drinking similar wines will help you get a good understanding for each one, as opposed to jumping around from style to style.

  5. Do the opposite and jump around from style to style.

  6. Read a book about wine and follow its advice. The Wine Bible is a good one. https://www.amazon.com/Wine-Bible-Karen-MacNeil/dp/0761180834/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1519175848&sr=8-4&keywords=wine+encyclopedia

    And most important, don't give up, as the more wine you drink, the better it tastes.

Absolutely! I would definitely recommend The Wine Bible and The World Atlas of Wine (7th edition)

Is this the Wine Bible you're mentioning?
