He taps into his enormous experience to consider topics such as tasting, cellaring, choosing, understanding, comparing, and buying wine, as well as wine's more ephemeral and personal pleasures, lures, and mysteries." "At the heart of A Life Uncorked is the idea that wine is
more than a drink; its characteristics link it directly to memory, to locations around the world where grapes are grown and wine is made, and to the dining rooms, restaurants, bars, and gardens where we consume it. Johnson takes us to all of these places and many more in this memoir. Peppered with anecdotes, A Life Uncorked simultaneously educates and entertains, giving an absorbing perspective on the complex and fascinating world of wines from one of its most well-known and well-liked
aficionados."--BOOK JACKET.
