HOW TO DRINK WINE

Grant Reynolds Chris Stang

The Easiest Way to Learn What You Like

With its fun, conversational tone and funky maps, infographics, and illustrations, HOW TO DRINK WINE is a brand-new kind of wine resource. Instead of drilling down into the nitty-gritty details of one specific region or varietal, it gives a digestible overview for anyone who's looking to learn the basics or up their wine game.
Award-winning sommelier Grant Reynolds and The Infatuation co-founder and CEO Chris Stang help boost your wine confidence in the most unpretentious way with information on navigating the store, dissecting a label, tasting in public without looking like a jerk, building your vocab (hello, "tannins" and "cuvée"), pairing your wine with social situations (think brunch, beach days, and pizza nights). They walk you through how to figure out exactly what you like to drink, framing it through the lens of the most widely accessible types - for instance, if pinot noir is your usual go-to, try a bottle from Beaujolais next time.

With this book, a wine key, and just one kind of glass (really!), you're sure to become the resident wine expertor at least be able to fake it really well.

In addition to being a well-respected sommelier, Grant Reynolds is a partner in Delicious Hospitality Group, which owns and operates the wine-focused Manhattan restaurants Charlie Bird, Pasquale Jones, and Legacy Records. He was named Wine & Spirit's Best New Sommelier in 2013 and was named to Forbes' 2017 class of 30 under 30. Grant has been featured in Condé Nast Traveler and Vogue and has written about wine for Bon Appétit, GQ, and Vanity Fair.
Chris Stang is the co-founder and CEO of The Infatuation, where he has been the architect of the brand's editorial voice and creative vision since its inception in 2009. The site receives 5 million monthly page views and has over 1 million combined social media followers.

A great resource for anyone who loves wine. The book reveals many everyday secrets of wine we take for granted. A must-buy!

Grant and Chris know great wine. They also understand that great wine is about good living; it enrichens friendships, enlivens conversations, and rounds life's rough edges. Do yourself a favor and let them tell you about it.

How many times have you sat down for dinner with friends after a long day with your mouth watering, waiting to imbibe a glass of wine while they waxed not so eloquently about different wines that you know nothing about? Grant and Chris are like the masterful DJ you hear spinning at a party and make you ask, 'How come when I play records it doesn't sound as good?' But they are not just doing itthey are showing you how, too. How to Drink Wine demystifies this topic, taking out the BS and replacing it with fun.

Oenophiles Grant Reynolds and Chris Stang put highfalutin sommelier-speak into casual terms you'd actually use with friends, so that you can shop like a pro.
