This book is also being published under the title "Wine Snob: A Wine-Fueled Adventure with Obsessive Sommeliers, Passionate Oenophile Collectors, and Whimsical Scientists Who Live with Taste."
A professional journalist and a complete non-professional when it comes to drinking, Bianca Bosker knew next to nothing about wine until she discovered an alternative universe where taste rules—the world of sommeliers who have dedicated their lives to the pursuit of aromas. Stunned by their passion and almost superhuman sensitivity, she decides to understand what drives their obsession and whether she herself can become a wine maniac.
With boundless curiosity, a sense of humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes readers to underground tasting groups, upscale New York restaurants, California wineries, and even inside an fMRI machine, seeking to answer the most fundamental question: why is wine so exciting? Her discoveries will forever change your perspective on this drink—and perhaps even your life.
