Description
Book Synopsis
Bianca Bosker, periodista profesional y bebedora aficionada, no sabía mucho de vinos... hasta que descubrió un universo alterno en donde el gusto es el sentido supremo, un mundo de sommeliers de élite que dedican sus vidas a la conquista del sabor. Fascinada por el fervor y los poderes sensoriales casi sobrehumanos de estos personajes, se lanzó a descubrir las raíces de su obsesión, y a averiguar si podía convertirse en uno de ellos. Con una buena carga de curiosidad, humor y escepticismo, Bosker nos lleva entre grupos de cata semiclandestinos, restaurantes exclusivos, fábricas de producción enológica masiva y hasta un estudio neurológico por resonancia magnética, en busca de responder la pregunta más apremiante de todas: ¿por qué nos importa tanto el vino? Sus hallazgos cambiarán para siempre tu manera de beber... y quizá también tu forma de vivir. Bianca Bosker, a professional journalist and avid wine drinker, didn't know much about wine... until she discovered an alternate universe where taste is the supreme sense, a world of elite sommeliers who dedicate their lives to the conquest of flavor. Fascinated by their fervor and almost superhuman sensory powers, she set out to discover the roots of her obsession and find out if she could become one of them. With a healthy dose of curiosity, humor, and skepticism, Bosker takes us through semi-clandestine tasting groups, exclusive restaurants, mass-produced wineries, and even an MRI neurological study, in search of an answer to the most pressing question of all: why do we care so much about wine? Her findings will forever change the way you drink... and perhaps the way you live, too.About the Author
