Description
Bianca Bosker, a professional journalist and avid wine drinker, didn't know much about wine... until she discovered an alternate universe where taste is the supreme sense, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the conquest of flavor. Fascinated by their fervor and almost superhuman sensory powers, she set out to discover the roots of her obsession and find out if she could become one of them. With a healthy dose of curiosity, humor, and skepticism, Bosker takes us through semi-clandestine tasting groups, exclusive restaurants, mass-produced wineries, and even an MRI neurological study, in search of an answer to the most pressing question of all: why do we care so much about wine? Her findings will forever change the way you drink... and perhaps the way you live, too.
