05/30/2023 6:30pm 05/30/2023 8:00pm BYOBook--Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker

As we get into spritz season, join us to discuss Bianca Bosker's aptly-titled Cork Dork: A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste.

Publisher's Weekly gave it a starred review, calling it page-turning and fascinating, full of a heady mix of science, food writing, and memoir. Kirkus Reviews says the book is perceptive, curious, and entertaining, and promises that "[r]eaders will certainly come away from the book knowing more about wine and likely eager to explore it further, but even those less inclined to imbibe will be intrigued by Bosker's insights into the nature of smell and taste and the ways training and attention can increase one's pleasure in them."

We will meet at 6:30 at Big Grove Taproom at 1225 S. Gilbert! *Previously printed material may say that we are meeting at N. Linn St., but the correct location is Big Grove.*

Grab a print copy from our collection, or head over to Overdrive to get ebook or eaudio.
