If wine were told to me | Roland Lecarpentier

Roland Lecarpentier was born in 1963, a terrible vintage. Not holding a grudge, he pursued a career in wine, realizing that it was the best way to drink well and abundantly at a low cost, and to rub shoulders with the cream of French cuisine. After forty years of good and loyal service, both in the dining room and the kitchen, he has concocted this succulent and witty work, rich in "fine" wine and heartfelt moments. He shoots from the hip behind the bar, without mincing words and without beating around the bush. He debones common misconceptions, exposes the abuses and unspoken truths in viticulture, and sifts through the absurdities that abound in the world of wine. An informative and hilarious book, far from the undrinkable speeches. A genuine way to approach wine, viticulture, and wine marketing without the inferiority complexes that too many professionals try to instill in consumers who are often naive. Because you can enjoy the good things without idolizing them, because it's not necessary to empty your bank account to find a good bottle, and because you shouldn't always believe everything you're told. Cheers!
