He's irreverant, extremely knowledgeable and delightfully entertaining.

And some reviews....
“I have spent many hours with Tim wrestling with some of his ideas while they were still in the formative stage. It was both an exhilarating and an exhaustive experience. With a broad and deep knowledge of wine and food history as well as their complexities, he is not afraid to challenge the way things are done and suggest alternatives. He’s not dogmatic in his beliefs, but he demands that conventional thinkers think again. You may not agree with all his conclusions, but I promise he will make you think.”
George Taber, author of the bestseller The Judgment of Paris and A Guide to Bargain Wines and former correspondent and editor for Time magazine
"I have to say, I was incredibly excited when Tim Hanni announced
he was releasing a book on his work related to wine
preferences and out-dated “trends” in the wine industry. Ever since I met Tim
over a year ago at a seminar held in the Monticello AVA region of Virginia, I
was convinced that the traditional wine and food pairing “rules” were not, in
reality, appropriate for who we actually taste and how each individual
perceives and enjoys particular flavors and characteristics of wines. In fact,
I’ve been preaching this message quite frequently in the tasting room when I’m
pouring, and I have to say people are very receptive and thrilled with the new
ideas."
"I could go on and on about the different points and topics in Why You Like The Wines You Like by Tim Hanni, but then I’d pretty much be re-writing the book and that’d be silly (and well, kind of illegal). Instead, you should read the book for yourself! Why You Like The Wines You Like should be REQUIRED reading for everyone who loves wine, or who thinks they might love wine if only they didn’t feel pressured or embarrassed to steer clear of their favorites. This book has several fun do-it-yourself exercises that will help further convince you that wine and food pairing shouldn’t be about certain rules per se, but should be all about the individual consumer and what types of wines they actually like and would prefer to drink."
