Description:

Jay McInerney's wine column for Conde Nast House & Garden is widely read for his acerbic wit, irreverent tone, and bountiful hilarious anecdotes. But a half million readers also hark closely to each month's Uncorked for the breadth of knowledge every column shares. For the uninitiated or aspiring oenophile (wine lover) McInerney shares critical details and comprehensible descriptions not found, or discernable in the standard wine writer's tomes. It is actually possible for a reader to take what is learned to a wine shop or restaurant to indulge in the wine of his or her fantasy with the confidence of a sommelier.



In forty-five columns, McInerney holds forth (with agile humor, an astonishing amount of hard fact and an ample dose of personal taste) on such tips as how to make your way around a German wine label; what to drink with Thanksgiving turkey, the truth about Zinfandels; why burgundy is so hard to predict; how California Chardonnay is improving; the pleasures of flinty Chablis; the deep satisfaction of port; the glorious potential of Oregon's pinot noir; the respectability of rose; and profiles of the great winemakers.



This book is for everyone interested in learning more about the wines of the world. For those who are modest of purse there is intense vicarious pleasure to be found in McInerney's vinous adventures.
