Cork Dork
批評家のレビュー
“Bosker’s journey into this sodden universe is thrilling, and she tells her story with gonzo .... She gives great gossip ... [and] is, in the main, great company as a narrator - witty, generous, democratic ... When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer to this book's sensibility and heart.” (Jennifer Senior, The New York Times)
“Reads like a wine lover’s equivalent of Dante’s 'The Divine Comedy’: There is paradise, but only after glimpses of purgatory and hell…A funny, thought-provoking and at times frightening look at the sublime tastes, enormous egos and curious rules of a profession that is both insanely rigorous and occasionally ridiculous.” (Associated Press)
"A madcap 18-month journey...[that's] as informative as it is, well, intoxicating." (Fortune)
あらすじ・解説
Instant New York Times best-seller and a New York Times critics' pick.
“Thrilling...[told] with gonzo élan.... When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” (Jennifer Senior, The New York Times)
Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine - until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor 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, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, Bosker takes the listener inside underground tasting groups, exclusive New York City restaurants, California 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?
What she learns will change the way you drink wine - and, perhaps, the way you live - forever.
“Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Somm.” (TheSkimm)
