"""The perfect book for oenophiles and oenophobes alike. Fun facts, crisp writing, and no pretensions. Lettie Teague has written the first and only wine book I could read from beginning to end without getting a hangover. Wine in Words should be on every bookshelf in America."" —Nelson DeMille, novelist “If Nora Ephron had been a wine journalist, her work would read like that of Lettie Teague.” —Peter Hellman, journalist, The New York Sun ""Lettie Teague’s Wine in Words can be joyfully paired with every reader who is seeking brilliant, entertaining, and incisive writing about all things wine."" —Drew Nieporent, restaurateur, Tribeca Grill, Nobu, Bâtard “Lettie Teague is a true original—witty, articulate, and in love with wine as well as fascinating people...One of America’s most gifted commentators on all things about wine.” —Robert M. Parker Jr., founder, The Wine Advocate ""Wine writer Lettie Teague — known for her blunt, chatty style that demystifies the cult of the grape without diluting its allure — has once again taken issue with highfalutin attitudes about the wine world. In her new book, Wine in Words, the Wall Street Journal wine columnist offers beginners a primer on the basics of acidity and structure, and gives wine snobs a piece of her mind. In quick-reading essays akin to small sips, Teague redeems Chablis, decries 'wine charms,' and wonders aloud about the future of wine in the state that spawned Snookie (hint: New Jersey.)"" -Associated Press ""With ruminations on everything from wine regions to winery dogs, Wine in Words is an engaging read from a critic who is both knowledgeable and relatable. She’s aware of the ABC (Anything But Chardonnay) club, has come to learn that wine can sometimes 'just be an adjunct to a meal,' and is wise to the practice of regifting bottles. Hence, her rules for getting it right."" -Vogue.com"
