Summary

With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker takes the reader 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 question: What's the big deal about wine?
