THE LESS IS MORE APPROACH TO WINE is an extension of the popular wine classes Charles Springfield teaches throughout New York City. Combining various themes like Wine 101, prominent wine regions and "New World versus Old World" comparisons, this wine education book brings all that vocabulary, knowledge and personality into a comprehensive written guide. The book also takes the opportunity to expand on several topics that cannot be covered in a 90-minute class. However, it stays true to his teaching approach of delivering information in easy to understand and manageable doses.With a digestible serving of wine education, sprinkled liberally with a generous pinch of entertainment, the book takes the reader on a journey all the way from the origin of wine thousands of years ago all the way to the present day and how to successfully shop for, serve and store wine for day-to-day life. When equipped with the proper information, wine lovers can feel confident and empowered to make decisions that are better suited for their own personal enjoyment - not what someone else tells them they should or should not like or drink. It's an ideal guide for anyone getting into wine for the first time or people who've worked with wine for some time and want to deepen their understanding.With this book, Charles wants to make wine accessible, approachable and fun.

An elegant and intellectual work, "The Book of Tea" was written in 1906 by Okakura Kakuzo, a brilliant Japanese man with an early education in English. Through his intimate knowledge of Japanese aesthetics and ability to effectively communicate them to a Western audience, Okakura is able to discuss 'Teaism' and its impact on Japanese culture, thought, and life in an informative and profound way. He develops this theory by explaining the history and universality of the tea ceremony, its inextricable connection to Taoism and Buddhism, and the importance of one's surroundings when taking tea. This essay expounds on simplicity, nature, and art, from paintings to flower arrangements, to architecture, and ends with an anecdote about one of the most famous tea masters, Sen no Rikyu. This eloquent work puts readers at ease as it explores beauty and imperfection, the subtleties of austerity, and the philosophies of monks, artists, and gardeners in 'the way of tea'. This edition is printed on premium acid-free paper.
