Drinking wine — good.
Reading Pogue — good.
Combining the two — not so much. Very wise not to attempt assays into the inner machinations of the machine without full possession of one's faculties ... in my case especially. (But I does luv my wine.)

If you're planning on upgrading to Lion, given the multitude of "hidden" and "secret" manipulations which are included in same, Pogue's book is IMHO essential, if only to save a lot of trial and error in navigating the new system.
