Jay McInerney

Vinous Veritas

Juice

Will Vunderink

The Juice won't teach you much about the history of wine, or the genesis of modern wine styles, or the background of major players in the wine industry. The chapters are too short (usually about four pages) to dive deep. You won't learn much about the many types of wine covered in the book, although you'll learn enough to wish that McInerney had taken the time to tell an actual story about each one rather than calling it a day after a brief introduction. You will, however, find plenty of hazy recollections of extravagant meals and social events, with lots of conspicuous name-dropping concerning the various figures that McInerney dined, drank, and spent time with while writing the book.
