A daughter seeks to connect with her enigmatic father on a tour of French wine country, in this hilarious memoir that will appeal to readers of Peter Mayle and Julie Powell. Though Corked is a book for anyone who has ever become paralyzed with terror after being handed the wine list at a restaurant, or has never understood how wine can taste like beetroot, wet dog, cigar smoke, coffee bean, or anything other than "winey," it is above all for anyone who has woken up one morning and been glove-slapped by the realization that their parents will one day die, and in the name of love and genes and existential insight and friendship, have wanted to figure out who they are. Kathryn is a radio producer in Toronto and appears on CBC TV's Newsworld channel. She also writes a popular restaurant column for Toronto's Eye Weekly and is developing content for Vice TV.
