  A History of the World in 6 Glasses by Tom Standage

  1 save, 41 months ago

  This charming book I just bought tells the story of humanity from the Stone Age to the 21st century through the lens of beer, wine, spirits, coffee, tea, and cola. From the promo materials: "each drink is a kind of technology, a catalyst for advancing culture by which he demonstrates the intricate interplay of different civilizations. You may never look at your favorite drink the same way again." Can't wait! How clever.

  Blue Trout and Black Truffles: The Peregrinations of

  1 save, 43 months ago

  Another of my all-time favorites, this book follows a New York food critic through the restaurants of middle and western Europe during the first half of the twentieth century. Through two world wars and a rapidly changing landscape author Joseph Wechsberg engages in all things gastronomic with such gusto you can't help but become mouth wateringly jealous. His light style and ability to interpret people through their food and wine is almost as delicious as the offerings he encounters.

  Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of

  1 save, 43 months ago

  This is my all-time favorite wine book. An up close and personal account by one of the nation's most celebrated importers of French wine, this book takes you along as Kermit Lynch tours some of the most famous wine regions in France. A focus on wines made with integrity and focused on that much thrown about term "terroir" make this a classic wine read.
