Bacchus & Me: Adventures in the Wine Cellar by Jay McInerney (Lyons Press, Hardcover)

Novelist Jay McInerney, author of Bright Lights, Big City, turns his wit to wine in this collection of forty-nine essays drawn from his wine column. With irreverent humour, plenty of hard fact and a healthy dose of personal taste, he covers reds, whites, dessert wines, Champagne, aperitifs and more: how to decode a German wine label, what to pour with Thanksgiving turkey, the truth about Zinfandel, why Burgundy is so unpredictable, Napa's leading winemakers, Oregon Pinot Noir, the respectability of rosé, and the colourful characters of the wine trade. An entertaining and genuinely useful read for anyone curious about wine, whatever their budget.
