Book 18 - Uncorked

Uncorked: My Journey Through the Crazy World of Wine
by Marco Pasanella

Delicious!

Even though I have an average (at best) knowledge of wine, I can appreciate the intricacies of wine making and wine drinking. This book was quite an adventure.

First, I have to say, Pasanella included recipes throughout the book! They all looked amazingly delicious. Before I return it to the e-library, I'll have to take some screenshots of the ones that I want to make in the future.

Second, the book was just as much about wine as it was about the journey of setting up a wine shop. Neither are as easy as we think. I appreciated taking this adventure with Pasanella, and dipping into his Italian roots (where he is from is very close to where my great-grandparents were from!). From selecting perfect bottles, to finding sellable wines, to creating his own label, the fun never stopped!

Last, I had a blast reading through this while on vacation. It is perfect book to relax in the sun and read. Nothing was too intense, yet nothing was boring.

Here is the website for Pasanella & Son.
