The Independent's 2017 Book of the Year and a 2020 London Eater
recommended read for lockdown 'If Malcolm Gladwell were to write a
book about wine, the results wouldn't linger much more pleasurably
on the palate than this accessible, adventurous, amusing and
informative book by Bianca Bosker' - The Times Professional
journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn't know much about
wine - until she discovered the world of elite sommeliers who
dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavour. Fascinated by their
fervour and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to
uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could
become a 'cork dork.' With boundless curiosity, humour and a
healthy dose of scepticism, Bosker takes the reader inside
underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants,
mass-market wine factories and even a neuroscientist's fMRI machine
as she attempts to answer the most nagging question of all: what's
the big deal about wine? Funny, counterintuitive and compulsively
readable, Cork Dork does for drinking what Kitchen Confidential did
for dining out, ensuring you'll never reach blindly for the second
cheapest bottle on the menu again.
