The Juice: Vinous Veritas
Jay McInerney
For more than a decade, Jay McInerney’s vinous
essays, now featured in The Wall Street Journal , have been praised by
restaurateurs (“Filled with small courses and surprising and exotic
flavors, educational and delicious at the same time” —Mario Batali), by
esteemed critics (“Brilliant, witty, comical, and often shamelessly
candid and provocative” —Robert M. Parker Jr.), and by the media (“His
wine judgments are sound, his anecdotes witty, and his literary
references impeccable” — The New York Times ).
Here
McInerney provides a master class in the almost infinite varieties of
wine and the people and places that produce it all the world over, from
the historic past to the often confusing present. From such legendary
châteaus as Margaux and Latour and Palmer to Australia and New Zealand
and South Africa, to new contenders in Santa Rita Hills and Paso Robles,
we learn about terroir and biodynamic viticulture, what Champagnes are
affordable (or decidedly not), even what to drink over thirty-seven
courses at Ferran Adrià's El Bulli—in all, an array of grapes and wine
styles that is comprehensive and thirst inducing. And conspicuous
throughout is McInerney’s trademark flair and expertise, which in 2006
prompted the James Beard Foundation to grant him the MFK Fisher
Distinguished Writing Award.
