Parker’s, Jr. "Wine Vintage Guide," "Parker Speaks on Wine," and Parker’s glossary of wine terms. Of course this book still has all its good old features: an index by ingredients, in depth mixing instructions, metric conversion tables, a list of every possible garnish, sections on hot drinks, frozen drinks, beers, ales, lagers, and "malternatives," and S.K.C.’s "Glossary of Club, Restaurant and Bar Terms, and Slang." (Sample Below.) Weisenheimer(n): slang, an obnoxious person; someone who thinks their banter is clever or humorous, even though others may not. Wounded Soldier (n): a beer that has been opened, partially consumed and left to die. See Soldier, and Dead Soldier.
