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.

I'm impressed by how much more I'm learning through audiobooks compared to traditional reading. ListenBook's sleek design and intuitive controls make it my go-to app for audiobooks. ListenBook makes organizing my audiobooks simple. The app is very user-friendly. I’ve been using ListenBook for months, and it’s been a fantastic experience. The app is lightweight, doesn’t drain my battery, and works perfectly in the background. The equalizer and voice boost features are amazing. Highly recommend! A reasonable choice for casual listening. The audiobook was well-produced, but the pacing felt uneven in places. I didn’t dislike it, but I also didn’t feel strongly about it one way or another.

The smart recommendation feature keeps surprising me with books I never knew I'd love. ListenBook Pro's noise reduction feature is a true blessing for enjoying clear audio even in noisy environments. I love the ability to change the background color. It’s a nice touch.

ListenBook's audio filters and controls have turned my listening sessions into immersive experiences. ListenBook's compatibility with various audio formats is impressive. From MP3 to FLAC, it handles them all flawlessly. Noise reduction on ListenBook Pro is impressive. My recordings sound crystal clear. ListenBook is the best audiobook player I’ve ever used. The app is reliable, fast, and packed with features like customizable themes and playback speed. The sleep timer is a lifesaver for bedtime listening. Great job, developers!

I never thought I'd enjoy audiobooks as much as I do now – all thanks to this app. ListenBook Pro's unlimited audiobook length is a dream come true for those epic tales. It's like having a personal audiobook library in your pocket. The intuitive interface and efficient navigation make this app a pleasure to use every day. Great for listening to lectures and educational content. Very useful! It was fine. The narrator did an adequate job but nothing about the performance particularly stood out to me. Got me through my commute though.

With this app, reading is no longer confined to a specific time or place. 🎉 Rekindling my love for reading – this app makes each day a new adventure! 📖🚀 ListenBook Pro's tone adjustment feature is a unique touch that adds personalization to my audiobook journey. Not bad, but not amazing either. The narrator’s voice was pleasant, though some parts felt a bit rushed. The story had its moments, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it over similar titles in the genre.
