I was intrigued by this book after watching a segment on the news about the author and some of her unique wine pairings with snack foods. Not only are there endless super interesting pairings but also basic and more in-depth info about everything wine. The author writes about her journey becoming a sommelier and the stories are interesting and funny too! I love this book and have been recommending it to all my wine loving friends and acquaintances.
