Ep 87 My Go-To Wine Books for Beginners & Enthusiasts
When it comes to wine books, which ones are essential for every wine lover’s collection?
Well, if you know anything about me, you know I’m a sucker for a good wine book. A wine book is how I actually ended up getting into wine in the first place!
Before I was really enthralled by the world of wine, my husband and I took a trip down to Willamette Valley. The tour guide gave us an amazing tour of Archery Summit and recommended this book called Cork Dork for me to read. After reading Cork Dork, it led to a deep dive into countless wine books that have since become cornerstones of my collection.
Today, I’m sharing my top 13 wine book recommendations and I’ve grouped them into 4 categories: reference books, personal essays/novel-esque, food pairing guides, and others. Whether it’s deepening your wine knowledge, learning new food and wine pairings, or a thrilling fiction book, there is a book here for everyone!
So, if you are ready to dive into the world of wine through the pages of expertly curated books, press play and listen in!
