Book Synopsis
Ever wonder what wine to pair with something you had no intention of eating? As a professional sommelier, Michele Gargiulo has taken the time to pair something unusual, and inedible (hopefully, anyway), with a favorite beverage-wine. This book explores how to pair the personality and soul of different wines with well-known dog breeds.
Dogs have distinctive personalities-they vary based on breed and even by individual, just as wines vary year to year, location to location. Wine is often taken too seriously, and many people still expect sommeliers to be older gentlemen who forgot how to smile sometime in the 80s. To make wine what it is truly about, happiness and fun, the author has expertly paired her picks with the creatures who are among the happiest and most fun in the world. Cheers!
