If you are reading this review, you know wine. You know that a good wine soothes the palate and warms the heart. This is a review of The Complete Illustrated Guide To Home Made Wine by Mike Carraway.

My wife and I wanted to expand our wine experience by making our own wine. So, we decided to try our hand at it and began our journey.

We live in rural Washington state and have easy access to fresh vineyard grapes and fresh fruits. After some failed attempts at making our own wine, it tasted more like vinegar, we decided to look for some expert advice.

We found Mike Carraway's, The Complete Illustrated Guide To Home Made Wine, and haven't looked back since. I admit this is a biased review. It is not because we have not tried other means of learning the art and science of wine making. We have.

We attended a wine making class at a local winery. But it was a one time event and later during the process of making our own wine, when we had questions and we had to refer to our notes, the notes were not always accurate or clear.

Mike's illustrated guide is the most thorough and easy to understand wine making course on the market. We keep it next to our equipment and refer to it frequently.

In our opinion it's the best home wine making course on the market!

If you are a beginner, this book offers detailed information with many, many illustrations and video. There are over a hundred recipes listed in the guide with detailed instructions to get you started right away.

The guide is an extremely thorough book walking you step-by-step through the entire home wine making process.

Within a short time you will be able to delight your guests and friends with the sweet elixir of your own home made wine.

Here is just a small sample of what you will find in this guide:

• How you can start your first batch almost immediately

• 7 reasons people fail plus a complete troubleshooting section
