Book excerpt: INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER AND A NEW YORK TIMES CRITICS' PICK “Thrilling . . . [told] with gonzo élan . . . When the sommelier and blogger Madeline Puckette writes that this book is the Kitchen Confidential of the wine world, she’s not wrong, though Bill Buford’s Heat is probably a shade closer.” —Jennifer Senior, The New York Times Professional journalist and amateur drinker Bianca Bosker didn’t know much about wine—until she discovered an alternate universe where taste reigns supreme, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the pursuit of flavor. Astounded by their fervor and seemingly superhuman sensory powers, she set out to uncover what drove their obsession, and whether she, too, could become a “cork dork.” With boundless curiosity, humor, and a healthy dose of skepticism, 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 most nagging question of all: what’s the big deal about wine? What she learns will change the way you drink wine—and, perhaps, the way you live—forever. “Think: Eat, Pray, Love meets Somm.” —theSkimm “As informative as it is, well, intoxicating.” —Fortune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world of champagne offers a fascinating insight into the complexity of modern business management and marketing. Champagne is at the same time a wine, a luxury product and a regional brand – it is tied to the place from which it comes, and can be made nowhere else. It therefore highlights a range of characteristics which make it interesting to the modern business world. This is the first book to offer a complete overview of the way in which champagne as a product is organized, managed and marketed and what its future prospects are. The book covers the entire range of issues surrounding the management of the champagne industry by reviewing the current context of champagne (structural, economic and legal), the role of ‘place’ (identity and terroir and tourism), marketing the ‘myth’ of champagne (image and competitive advantage) and the management of the industry (accountability, people and the territorial brand). The book brings together leading academics and examines the champagne region from multidisciplinary perspectives. Examining the champagne region provides insight into a range of management, production-management, branding and consumer-related issues and will be of interest to students, researchers and academics interested in Gastronomy, Wine Studies, Tourism, Hospitality, Marketing and Business.

Book excerpt: This book is for wine lovers who want to learn and appreciate the art of matching fine wines with appropriate foods. I believe that wine is made to accompany food, and that each enhances the other. This book is a guide to this process of quickly finding the right food match for a given wine. In the first part of the book wines and foods are grouped according to similarities, providing a convenient, methodical way to consistently achieve winning wine-food pairings. Pitfalls to avoid are also addressed.in the second part of the book, over 100 wines are examined and "can't miss" wine-food experiences are presented to the reader. The recipes given here include an assortment of "Bistro" dishes and "Cuisine Bourgeois", some Classical "Haute Cuisine" dishes, as well as many contemporary dishes from the world of "Nouvelle Cuisine." The dishes were selected because I felt they accentuated the best qualities of each particular wine. I have attempted to select the dishes that I feel bring out, or magnify, those qualities in fine wines that are sought by wine lovers. The recipes listed here cover the gamut from Escoffier to Emeril. Many of the recipes in this book also include suggested appropriate vegetarian substitutes for the meat courses in some of these classic gourmet dishes. Low-fat versions of each recipe are also addressed. My goal was to have vegetable dishes and lo-fat dishes that closely approximated the look and taste of the original dish as much as possible, so that the presentation of the dish at the table and the feel of the dish in the mouth would not change the wine/food experience, adhering to the goal of enhancing the taste of each wine just as much as the original dish did. So, no matter what your dietary slants, you should be able to enjoy these famous wines with the appropriate foods to enhance the wine-food experience. Gluten-free substitutes are also listed when appropriate, for those interested. When possible, for those interested, low-sugar/low-carbohydrate substitutes for some of the dishes are also prescribed, and low-alcohol wine substitutes are proposed. Do you want to match that special rare bottle of wine with a "can't miss" food dish? Do you enjoy cooking elaborate gourmet "3-star Michelin" meals and have, or plan to stock your cellar with, the wines to properly accompany them? Or maybe you just enjoy having an everyday supermarket wine and want to serve it with the most compatible dishes for maximum enjoyment of these wines. The purpose of this book is to familiarize the reader with the different types of wines and the methodology used to match each of these wines with compatible foods. Want to know how?
