The NY Book of Wine

The New York Book of Wine by Matthew DeBord quotes:

KEVIN ZRALY'S WINDOWS ON THE WORLD WINE COURSE
Marriott Marquis Hotel
1535 Broadway, NYC
845-255-1456

“Zraly is possibly the best-known sommelier in all New York, if not the world. The now sadly - and tragically - destroyed Windows on the World wine cellar, housed in what was the World Trade Center, was his baby. Drawing on its resources, high above lower Manhattan, he educated an entire generation of wine pros, future sommeliers, and enlightened amateurs. Zraly's course - after a period of mourning, he resumed teaching it at the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square - is all about personality. The man can imbue more energy into a discussion of Puligny-Montrachet than some statesmen can the fate of the European Union. His enthusiasm is infectious; by the time the eight-week course has concluded, you will have become not just a wine lover, but a wine acolyte - a crusader for the virtues of the vine. In fact, so thoroughly indispensable has the Windows course become that the textbook Zraly generated out of it, The Windows on the World Complete Wine Course: A Lively Guide, has been adopted by many experts as the definitive ABCs-of-wine guide. There are something like two million in print. Zraly is also in great demand as a speaker on wine and as a corporate consultant. As wine courses go, this one is the blue-chip standard by which all others are judged. It's also a relative bargain at the $995 price tag, as students will taste several thousand dollars worth of tremendously desirable wine.”
