This week we discuss three recently published books by noted wine authors. We talk about the basic premise of each book and then give our take on whether or not they're worth reading in our opinions. The three books are: "How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto," by Eric Asimov, Chief Wine Critic of The New York Times. "The New California Wine: A Guide to the Producers and Wines Behind a Revolution in Taste" by Jon Bonné, the wine editor of the San Francisco Chronicle. "Buy the Right Wine Every Time: The No-Fuss, No-Vintage Wine Guide" by Tom Stevenson, noted wine writer.    

Eric Asimov is an American wine critic for the New York Times, with articles also published in the International Herald Tribune. Asimov attended Wesleyan University, graduating in 1980. In 1984, he went on to work at the New York Times as an editor in National News. In 1992, Asimov conceived and wrote the “$25 and Under” column, dedicated to “restaurants where people can eat lavishly for $25 and under. The popularity of his reviews and articles led to Asimov’s yearly compilation books of the $25 and Under columns, published from 1995 to 1998. Asimov was given the new position of Chief Wine Critic of The New York Times in 2004, as a result of his numerous writings about wine since 1999. As Chief Wine Critic, he writes two columns, “The Pour” and “Wines of the Times” (or, as it may be, “Beers of the Times”), both of which appear in the paper on an alternating bi-weekly schedule. In March 2006, Asimov began writing a wine blog, also titled “The Pour”. On this special episode of Evolutionaries, learn more about Eric’s role as a wine critic, and what he thinks his job entails as the wine industry continues to grow. This program has been sponsored by International Culinary Center.   “The first few pieces I did was on beer in New York. Then I moved on to the Heath Bar. I was marching in a different direction, and there was less competition for that – I ended up with the job in it.” [07:04] “My job is to help people think of wine as a cultural expression.” [15:05] — Eric Asimov on Evolutionaries

Eric Asimov demystifies wine on a special and informative episode of In the Drink with host Joe Campanale. Eric is a food writer who started the $25 and under section of the New York Times and was given the new position of Chief Wine Critic of The New York Times in 2004. Asimov has also done freelance work for other publications, including Food & Wine Magazine, Details, Martha Stewart Living and Sommelier Journal. His latest book is called How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto. and Tune in for a lively conversation on subjects like the democratization of high end wine via the internet, the usefulness of blind tastings and the importance of beverage programs in restaurants. This program was sponsored by Bonnie Plants. “What’s missing in the hyper rational approach to wine is developing an emotional connection which is at the root of enjoyment.” [04:00] “Great sommeliers are also great psychologists – they can read [people’s] emotions.” [08:00] “Good wine is always changing and evolving. Talking about wine has a lot to do with context – the food, the people you’re with, the season, your own mood. When you talk about a blind tasting – the context is the other 49 wines, which is unnatural and you’re ignoring a lot of cultural information that can inform you about a particular wine. Good wines are cultural expressions they aren’t just isolated flavors and aromas in a glass – they convey where the grapes were grown, the heritage, the people, the history – all of this is important to convey in a wine.” [16:00] –Eric Asimov on In the Drink
