Books about wine
The Houston Chronicle recently ran a good review of five top wine books. Here’s a look at what they reviewed:
- The Battle for Wine And Love: or How I Saved the World from Parkerization by Alice Fiering. A one-woman crusade against wine consultants and the 100-point wine scoring system, and a search for authenticity in wine appreciation.
- Gary Vaynerchuk’s 101 Wines. A look at the 101 most tantalizing wines the author has discovered while traveling the world.
- Taste: A Life in Wine by Anthony Terlato. Read the words of the CEO who enjoyed great success bringing Pinot Grigio to the United States.
- The Wine Trials by Robin Goldstein. This author has been mentioned here before, as the one who created a fake restaurant and exposed Wine Spectator by winning their Award of Excellence. Here she uses brown-bag tests to find $15 wines that stand up against $50 to $150 wines.
