With acerbic wit, irreverent tone, and bountiful hilarious anecdotes, Jay Mc Inerney writes the first wine book that makes sense to all those dazed by the prevailing, dull technical wine writing. Mc Inerney generously reveals all he’s learned on his worldwide journey to understand wine in chapters on reds, whites, dessert wines, champagne, aperitifs, and more. Mc Inerney holds forth in forty-nine essays – with agile humor; an astonishing amount of hard fact, and an ample dose of personal taste – on: 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; Napa Valley’s finest winemakers; the pleasure of flinty Chablis, the deep satisfaction of port, the glorious potential of Oregon’s Pinot Noir; the respectability of Ros T; and the most colorful characters in the business. It is actually possible for a reader of Bacchus & Me to take what is learned to the bank, and immediately thereafter to wine shop or restaurant to indulge in the wine of his or her fantasy with the confidence of a sommelier. Bacchus & Me is for everyone interested in learning more about the wines of the world. For both those of broad means and of modest purse, there is intense vicarious pleasure to be found in Mc Inerney’s vinous adventures.
