Cork Dork: A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among The Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, And Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me To Live For Taste

"Once upon a time, Bianca Bosker was a casual wine drinker who, as she put it, generally preferred wines from a bottle but wouldn’t have turned up her nose at something boxed. Then she decided to quit her day job and give herself a year to become a professional sommelier. She changed her diet (no liquids above a lukewarm temperature) and became a professional day-drinker (not as fun as you might think, and expensive). The resulting memoir, Cork Dork, is an ode to tannins, a scientific lesson in smelling better, a journey to high-end New York City restaurants and, of course, a lot of fun to read with a big glass of wine to keep you company."
