As a wine professional I loved this book. It was easy to focus on wine and pairings and how they were meant to compliment. Wine is more than a drink, it's a lifestyle.

Thanks to the author, Chronicle Books, and NetGalley for the review copy. Great selection of bites and appetizers that pair well with wine I found myself wanting to make a lot of them!

I never expected to DNF a cookbook, but I just couldn't continue with this one. I will give it two stars because I do not think the recipes are bad (but I also cannot confidently vouch they are any good).

Here's why I couldn't finish it:

It's no secret that in this day and age I think all cookbooks should have pictures with the recipes, or at least for 90% of the recipes. This book had about one recipe picture per chapter and then two photos with raw ingredients (chapters were divided by ingredients like vegetables, seafood, meat, etc). And that one recipe picture it had was for the easiest recipe like grilled asparagus wrapped in bacon... Oh wow so helpful, I definitely need to know how that recipe should look to make sure I get it right. I just find it lazy. Sorry not sorry.

I love wine, I love food and most of all I love wine and food together.

With over 70 recipes there really is a snack or more substantial bite for every occasion and the meatballs in particular were to die for!

I will be creating a fancy cheese board with homemade chutneys and showing off my culinary pairings at my next girls night for sure and I am tempted to keep the book a secret so my friends don't steal the recipes haha.

The recipes are well written and understandable by cooks of all levels and the photos make the food very appealing. A must have bible for every wine lover <3

A frequent problem I have with cookbooks is the layout. I like to have pictures to go along with each of the recipes and I like a cookbook to be organized instead of having so many different recipes shoved onto one page. This book had every aspect of a cookbook format that I loved! It was neat and organized, and the pictures were amazing. Unfortunately, I did not have the chance to try out the majority of the recipes either due to a food allergy or preference. I was only able to try three recipes out of this cookbook. Just for me personally, a lot of the recipes were not for my personal taste. Although, I do know someone whose tastes line up with this book and I will be gifting them a copy of this as I am sure it will be something they will enjoy.

Great organizations and format of the book. I just wish the food options lined up more with my preferences so I would have been able to try out more recipes from this cookbook.

Thanks to NetGalley and Chronicle Books for this free digital copy in exchange for an honest review! This book is available today. :)

Barbara Scott-Goodman has created a beautifully put-together book full of yummy bites to pair with wine. I had girl's night in my head the entire time I was perusing this book. The photos, by Jennifer May, are lovely! I can only imagine how nice this looks in physical form. It is neatly laid out into clear sections like "Snacks & Bites", "Dips & Spreads", "Cheese", etc. Most of the recipes seemed very doable and Scott-Goodman gives recommendations for wine pairings with each recipe. Some recipes that stood out to me were the Roasted Parmesan Bites (which I made!), the Black Bean, Mushroom, and Cheese Quesadilla with Avocado Cream...and basically the entire cheese section. I also really appreciated the section on how to put together a charcuterie board. I will be honest--I skipped over the entire seafood section because I just had to look at the details in the table of contents to know that was not going to be a section I liked.

Recommended for anyone who needs date night, girl's night, self-care night, any-kind-of-night snack and wine pairing ideas!

I thought this to be a handy cookbook for any party, gathering, get-together, holiday or even a quick dinner for two and you need something pretty on the plate that's easy to put out.

Most recipes have quick introduction with a wine suggestion, assembly tip, or food paring. The pictures are great and the recipes themselves are pretty easy to put together. Overall, an excellent book for snacks and quick bites to eat, and for things to add to your party and buffet table.

A lot of simple recipes for snacks that can be served at parties. Really pretty photographs throughout the book. I think this book would be good for people don’t host a lot. If you’re used to hosting get together a and parties this may seem a little basic.

As a wine lover, this book was very interesting. The recipe ideas are a bit difficult, but overall they will appeal to a wide audience. Scott-Goodman definitely knows how to enjoy her food and wine!
