Résumé

Poignant, hilarious, and illuminating, this memoir chronicles Alice Feiring's ascent from a toddler sniffing perfume bottles with her eccentric grandfather to taking her place as one of the more controversial, outspoken wine writers in the world. Feiring shares stories of a gutsy escape from a locked apartment, encounters with a serial killer, a nearly disastrous first wine assignment, and the allure and anxiety of drinking alone during the early days of COVID-19.
Her tales are surprising yet universal, and through it all there is wine. Each essay comes with a bottle, chosen for its emotional resonance, with its own story to tell. Readers will learn about wine in a personal and durable way.
Alice Feiring is "the queen of natural wines" (Financial Times). Her awards include the coveted James Beard Award for Wine Journalism. The author of five previous books, she has written for the New York Times, New York magazine, Time, and the winezine Noble Rot, and has appeared frequently on public radio. Alice lives in New York and publishes the authoritative natural wine newsletter, The Feiring Line.
