15 posts | 7 read | 1 reading | 8 to read
A fresh, fun, and unpretentious guide to wine from Bon Apptit columnist Marissa A. Ross Does the thought of having to buy wine for a dinner party stress you out? Is your go-to strategy to pick the bottle with the coolest label? Are you tired of choosing pairings based on your wallet, rather than your palate? Fear not! Bon Apptit contributor and Wine. All The Time. blogger Marissa A. Ross is here to help. In this utterly unpretentious yet comprehensive guide to wine, Ross will help readers to understand the ins and outs of wine culture, from how to describe what they're drinking, to finding the best bottle for their budget, to picking the perfect red for a boyfriend's discerning parents. Told in her signature comedic voice, with personal anecdotes woven in among its lessons, Wine. All the Time. will teach readers to sip confidently, and make them laugh as they're doing it. From the Trade Paperback edition.

I‘m so devoted to beer. But lately there have been some surprising and funky wines I‘ve tried that made me want to know more. I picked this up on audible today and have been glued to it ALL afternoon. It‘s making me want to join wine clubs and drink all the natural wines I can get my hands on. Gamay, come here now!

The author is fun and knows her audience. It‘s engaging and accessible.

saresmoore Uh, yes, please! 5y
Blaire Sounds like a fun holiday read! 5y

If you drink wine regularly, this is a really rad read. It‘s not pretentious, it‘s super helpful, and Marissa is hilarious.

I want to brag on my husband for a second. 💏 I escaped to take a nearly 2 hour bath (with book, of course!) and came downstairs to an amazing meal, content kids, and this delicious wine. Feeling loved and lucky! #lifeisgood #husbandsoflitsy

saresmoore I just saw @mypoesoul ‘s comment—we have the same granite, too! What color are both of your kitchen cabinets? I‘m painting soon and have some ideas tumbling around my brain... 6y
britt_brooke @saresmoore Too funny! Our cabinets are a weird looking white washed white pine or something. There‘s a tannish tinge to them, too. I like them, but they‘re showing some wear. We will refinish or replace them at some point. I‘m thinking white. 6y
Reviewsbylola Perfect night!! What a great husband. 6y
mypoesoul @saresmoore Our‘s are a glazed off white color with oil rubbed bronze hardware. It kind of ties the two together. ☺️ 6y
saresmoore @mypoesoul That sounds beautiful! I was thinking of going navy, but I think you and @britt_brooke have shown me the merits of white—thanks! 6y
britt_brooke @saresmoore Navy night look really nice, though. I like the unexpected and that would be bold without being too crazy. 6y

britt_brooke @saresmoore Absolutely! I ordered from Target, but naturally, I just found them on Amazon for about $20 cheaper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01GVP5L2O/ref=asc_df_B01GVP5L2O5348815/?tag=hyprod-20... 6y

Godmotherx5 My hubby & I are interested in those end tables. Would you mind telling me if they were in store or online & what their exact name is? Thanks!! 6y
britt_brooke @Godmotherx5 Absolutely! Here‘s the link to Target: https://www.target.com/p/soho-end-table-oak-convenience-concepts/-/A-51294665 - HOWEVER, I‘ve since seen them on Amazon for cheaper, so you may want to shop around. 6y

This wonderfully irreverent and accessible guide has totally changed my relationship with wine. Imagine you have a non-snobbish friend who is well-versed in drinking good wine, and she knows you're on a budget but that you also have aspirations to eat/drink a little more fancy, or healthy, or both. Ross is that friend, and she walks you through every aspect of wine: tasting, buying, learning. Drinking good wine is easy & accessible.

Juggling two books this weekend: Marissa Ross's awesome wine guide - so unpretentious and approachable - and Matt Ruff's LOVECRAFT COUNTRY, which is great *and* feeling problematic to me. What are you reading this weekend?
