Author: Megan Buckley
Sure, when it comes to cocktails, you're the Queen of Cosmopolitans-but wine is in a class by itself. It's elegant, über-refined-and intimidating. But you don't have to be a die-hard oenophile to enjoy your vino with panache.
The Downtown Girl's Guide to Wine is a fun, easy-to-read primer that will help you choose a good wine (or two, or three...) whether you're hostessing a party or placing an order at a glamorous restaurant. You'll get the scoop on basic wine terminology, key wine regions, and general trends in wine and restaurant etiquette-including navigating a wine list and handling your sommelier. Packed with hot tips, fun sidebars, and plenty of advice, this sophisticated little guide will have you sipping with savvy in no time.
