Book Description
A new crop of books, aimed at "dummies" and "idiots," promises to remove the snob factor associated with wine. "But beneath the attitude adjustment," says wine critic Jennifer "Chotzi" Rosen, "they're textbooks. You still have to memorize an astounding amount of information to feel comfortable around a sommelier." Tales From the Cork Jester takes a different approach. "Only wine geeks like memorizing appellations and vintages," says Rosen. "Most people won't bother. I prefer to take them on adventures, tell stories, make them laugh; in the end they know enough to impress their friends and terrify their enemies without feeling like they've studied." Tales From the Cork Jester takes readers through the world of wine from the vineyard to the dinner table. Lauded by Wine Spectator, Style Gourmet, and Wine Advocate, this charming book offers unforgettable and amusing tales about understanding and appreciating wine.
