Publisher's Synopsis
***AVAILABLE TO PRE-ORDER NOW*** This book features 100 Wine Wanker approved bottles for you to buy at your local supermarket or posh wine shop. These are wines for friendships and long lunches, for spring afternoons and autumn evenings. Whether yours is a Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Kylie's Rosé or - God forbid - orange wine, I'll help you find the good shit, always.
Thirsty, is the story of my life in wine, a celebration of the bleeding beautiful people who make it and a history of the Gilbey family's love affair with winemaking and - let's be honest - drinking since the 1800s.
Learn all about:
- how to read a label (even if you can't speak the language)
- how to chat wine without sounding naff
- how to choose wine in a restaurant
- why your wine might smell like your granny's cardigan
You'll travel with me to Chateaux in France's Beaujolais, vineyards in England's Thames Valley, wineries in Australia's Hunter Valley and the unsung aisles of Sainsbury's, Waitrose, Majestic and - rest in peace - Oddbins.
Let me tell you how this gloriously gluggable elixir, is at its heart, made to bring pleasure.
