Rounding out the Syrah-and-the-City parallels are several female characters who receive noms de vin like 'Honey-Sugar' and the air-kissing 'Skinny,' and most entertainingly of all, the author's Carrie-like relationships." Publisher's noteAn award-winning journalist and wine expert shares her iconoclastic, passionate approach to finding the best wines, celebrating the best in natural wines made with old-fashioned techniques and arguing against the tyranny of wine consultants, the commonly used wine scoring system, homogenization, and more. AnnotationPopular blogger and journalist Alice Feiring has crafted a highly amusing and culturally relevant memoir about her obsession with carefully crafted wines, cleverly portrayed through personal anecdotes involving dating and travel, among other adventures. Feiring’s passionate desire to save the world from "Parkerization"--wine producers creating high-tech, low-quality wine to please internationally renowned wine critic Robert Parker, thereby assuring high ratings and sales--leads her into contact with the great man himself.
