Description

Nominated for a James Beard Award

Named a Best Wine Book of 2022 by The New York Times, Forbes, and The Washington Post

From veteran wine writer and James Beard Award winner Alice Feiring, an insightful and entertaining memoir of wine, love, heartbreak, and the never-ending process of coming-of-age.

Alice Feiring is a special sort of wine writer—the kind who dares to disagree with wine “experts”, and who believes wholeheartedly that the best wine writing is about life.

To Fall in Love, Drink This is both her love letter to wine and a lifelong coming-of-age story. In a series of candid, wise, and humorous personal essays, Feiring tells the story of her parents’ divorce, her first big wine assignment, the end of an eleven-year relationship, the death of her father, a near-fatal brush with a serial killer, pandemic lockdown, and more—and suffuses each with love, romance, pain, joy, and wine. Each essay is “accompanied” by a no-nonsense wine take-away designed to answer the questions everyday wine lovers have about wine—age, price, grapes, vineyards, and vintners.

This frank, charismatic work is a refreshingly grounded addition to the genre of wine-writing. Feiring has crafted a timeless, positively unpretentious memoir that will appeal to everyone who has ever enjoyed a glass of wine.

A must read for all wine lovers! We follow the collected stories of Alice Feiring, a Jewish raised wine writer who ties in her passion for wine into personal stories from her life. We follow Alice from childhood to the start of Covid-19. This book made me want to drink more wine, as she gives recommendations with each chapter. It would be wonderful if we all loved something as much as Alice loves her wine! Perfect read for anyone who considers themselves a connoisseur!

What I most loved about this book is the unpretentious approach to selecting and drinking wine. Too many essays about wine focus on the best of the best, which virtually none of us can either afford or appreciate. I enjoyed reading about her life and challenges but read the book mostly for its insights about wine, which I love to taste and enjoy with meals. She takes the intimidation factor out of wine cons;umtion, which I have noticed is a problem for a lot of novice wine lovers.
