I would like to learn of other effective books for this purpose for
Anglophone readers. There's one in the last couple of years by a US
graduate of both the MW and MS programs (extremely unusual, and testimony to
his wine knowledge), thinner than Stevenson's, in a "coffee-table" format,
but I don't know it well or have the details handy. Maybe other people
experienced with this situation can recommend other sources?

Is this the author you refer to? If so, do you recall which of his books
impressed you? Thanks.


From wine-expos.com:
Doug Frost is a Kansas City based wines and spirits writer and lecturer who
writes for numerous regional and national publications. His first book,
Uncorking Wine was released in 1996 to critical acclaim and his newest book,
On Wine, a Master Sommelier and Master of Wine Tells All, is recently
published by Rizzoli International. He holds the titles of both Master of Wine
and Master Sommelier, only the second person in history to have achieved both
these remarkable distinctions. Eleven years later, there are only three people
in the entire world with both titles. According to USA Today, "Frost likely
knows as much as anyone in the world about how to make, market, serve and
identify wines."
