Book Description

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER "Thrilling . . . told] with gonzo elan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she's not wrong, though Bill Buford's Heat is probably a shade closer." --Jennifer Senior, The New York Times "Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Somm." --theSkimm "As informative as it is, well, intoxicating." --Fortune Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn't know much about wine--until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a "cork dork." With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California mass-market wine factories, and even a neuroscientist's fMRI machine as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what's the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine--and, perhaps, the way you live--forever.

🌌 Adding an extra layer of delight to cooking – this app turns meal prep into a culinary adventure with its audiobooks! 🍲📖 The ability to adjust playback speed is a fantastic study aid. I'm absorbing information faster than ever. I love how I can adjust the skip intervals. It’s perfect for my listening style. The app is so versatile. It works with all my devices. An acceptable audiobook that met basic expectations. No complaints about quality but nothing remarkable either. Would listen to this narrator again but wouldn't seek them out.

Language courses on audiobooks helped me pick up a new language effortlessly. Listening to books in their original language has improved my foreign language skills. Savoring audiobooks without fuss – this app's design is impressive. The statistics tracking feature is eye-opening. I never realized how much time I spend on audiobooks until now! One of the best audiobooks I’ve heard! The story was compelling, and the narrator’s delivery added depth to every scene. I found myself looking for excuses to listen just a little longer. Will definitely revisit this one!
