A Kitchen Confidential for the wine industry, this is a sharp and entertaining look inside the secret world of sommeliers.

Accessible, adventurous, amusing and informative

Perhaps the most purely pleasurable book about wine ever written , this account of Bianca Bosker's journey from clueless wine boor to certifiable wine bore is everything wine writing so seldom is: nimble, self-aware, funny .

Bosker's journey into this sodden universe is thrilling, and she tells her story with gonzo élan.

Remarkably entertaining. Bosker is a talented writer, a thorough reporter and is unfailingly funny.

such a good story, so brilliantly written...Make this the first book you buy in 2018. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK.

A marvelous journey through the mad, manic, seductive subculture of wine and wine lovers.

I loved this book. It's not just about wine. It's about learning how to listen to your senses, to more deeply experience and appreciate the world around you, and everyone could use another glass of that.

A brilliant feat of screwball participatory journalism.

excellent
