Description
Marco Pasanella's behind-the-scenes memoir through the world of wine will captivate wine lovers with its story of one man who decided, at age 43, to change his life by opening a wine shop.
As Kitchen Confidential
and Waiter Rant explored the front and back of the house at restaurants,
Uncorked offers a peek behind the curtain of the wine world.
Pasanella takes the reader into the underbelly of his store and the
industry, which is steeped in history yet fanatical about technology and
brimming with larger-than-life personalities.
Infused with rich details
of his historic waterfront building in New York City and his sojourns to
Tuscany, Pasanella's memoir is one of transformation through a project many
fantasize about but few commit to. A colorful cast of characters rounds out this
fascinating journey through the world of wine.
Advance Praise
—Steven Dublanica, author of the bestselling Waiter Rant
“Facing the East River, not far from the amazing Brooklyn Bridge, is one of New York’s most unique wine stores. Pasanella & Son is the charming and evocative brainchild of Marco Pasanella. Marco is extremely knowledgeable about wines: how they taste, how they are made, and how they are bottled. The story he tells in Uncorked is much more than what wine to pair with what, and everyone interested in enjoying an excellent glass of wine should read his book.”
—Martha Stewart
“In this memoir about family, love, wine, and Italy, Marco shares how he reinvented his life—from designer to wineshop owner—and discovered what’s really important. The book is filled with portraits of the wild and crazy characters you find in the food and wine business. It’s also filled with real wisdom. If you’ve ever thought about changing course and taking a big leap to follow your passion, then Uncorked is a must-read.”
—Rocco DiSpirito, author of Now Eat This!
