Tastes Like Purple was written for all the wine lovers author Kristia Freeman has met over the years. Some were new to the wine world, others very well versed, but all started at the same place: with their first sip. This book breaks down everything there is to know about the basics of wine and the wine industry. It makes the subject fun and leaves readers wanting to learn more. It even gives readers a leg up on dealing with those snobby know-it-alls who make others feel bad about their personal taste or lack of experience. But most of all, it helps readers develop their own palate -- instead of adapting to someone else's.
