Podcasts about cork dork

The contemporary art world is nothing if not confusing. It is simultaneously deeply frivolous, and takes itself way too seriously. Its business dealings combine total mystification with conspicuous consumption, and the exact mechanisms by which one type of art gets celebrated above another are very often impossible to figure out. If you've ever struggled to make sense of it all, the journalist, Bianca Bosker's new book is worth picking up. It's called Get the Picture, A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends who Taught Me How to See, and it joins books like Anthony Hayden Guest's classic True Colors from 1998 and Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World from 2008, as an entertaining behind-the-scenes chronicle of art, though in a very different and maybe even more confusing moment. Bosker previously wrote Original Copies (2013) about architecture in China that replicates famous world monuments, and Cork Dork (2017), where she went inside the world of fine wine to try to decode its rituals. For Get the Picture, Bosker inserted herself in the striving, less-visible layers of the art industry, just beneath the glamorous images. She works the booth at a satellite fair in Miami where a gallery's very survival hinges on a few sales. And as a studio assistant for a painter whose success becomes a major headache as speculators start flipping her work. In some ways, Get the Picture will confirm all of the worst stereotypes about the contemporary art industry, and in others is the story of someone who slowly learns how to look past the caricatures by throwing herself into the thick of it, finding her own way to appreciate some of art's more eccentric values.

This conversation features journalist and author Bianca Bosker, discussing her book, “Get the Picture” with writer Patrick Bringley. Bianca Bosker is The New York Times bestselling author of “Cork Dork” and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. In “Get the Picture,” Bosker throws herself into the nerve center of art, and the people who live for it: gallerists, collectors, curators, and of course artists themselves. Probing everything from cave paintings to Instagram, and the science of sight to the importance of beauty, Get the Picture examines art's role in our culture, our economy, and our hearts. Bosker's writing has appeared in The New Yorker, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and The Best American Travel Writing, and has been recognized with awards from the New York Press Club, Society of Professional Journalists, and more. Patrick Bringley is the author of “All the Beauty in the World,” a memoir about his decade working as a guard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It was named a best book of the year by the New York Public Library, NPR, the Financial Times, Audible, and The Sunday Times (London), which selected it as the outstanding art book of 2023. Bringley has spoken at museums across the country, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and the National Gallery of Art, and is adapting his book into a one-man play premiering this fall at the Charleston Literary Festival.

How are innovators making art and wine more engaging and accessible? What is it about the art and wine worlds that makes business and pleasure often one and the same? Is authenticity in art important? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with author Bianca Bosker. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you will win a copy of Bianca Bosker's terrific new book Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose one person randomly from those who contact me.  Good luck!   Highlights Are the art and wine worlds still ruled by gatekeepers? How are innovators bringing in new voices and making art and wine more engaging and accessible? What's the role of the social grapevine in the art and wine industries? Why is mentorship a critical aspect of moving up the ladder in these industries? What is it about the art and wine worlds that makes business and pleasure often one and the same? What are some creative ways to develop your taste and understanding of art and wine? Is authenticity in art important? How do forgeries and fakes impact the art world? What can the art and wine worlds learn from each other? Why was it important to Bianca to be in the action in the art world when writing Get in the Picture? Which wines would Bianca pair with iconic artists and artwork? Why would Joan Didion be Bianca's ideal companion for sharing a bottle of wine?   Key Takeaways Bianca says, “With art and wine, some people say there are no rules, you can engage with it any way you want." She found that advice really frustrating. She thinks that it is important to give people the tools to think for themselves to engage with art or with wine on their own terms. Bianca observes that mixing business and pleasure is part of getting ahead in these different worlds, but it can be unfair for up-and-coming artists. It's hard to spend all of your time bopping around openings and networking. With art, the idea of a forgery is actually a relatively recent invention, Bianca notes. We haven't always cared what was original and what was a forgery or what was a fake.     About Bianca Bosker Bianca Bosker is the author of the New York Times bestselling books Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See and Cork Dork.

Why are people with obsessive natures often drawn to both wine and art? How does strategic snobbery create deliberate barriers to entry into the art and wine worlds? What does it mean to stay in the work or to stay with the wine? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with author Bianca Bosker. You can find the wines we discussed at https://www.nataliemaclean.com/winepicks   Giveaway Three of you will win a copy of Bianca Bosker's terrific new book Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See. To qualify, all you have to do is email me at natalie@nataliemaclean.com and let me know that you've posted a review of the podcast. I'll choose one person randomly from those who contact me.  Good luck!   Highlights Which cities has Bianca visited so far on her book tour? What has Bianca found to be the top marketing strategies for her book? Are art-world people more or less obsessive than wine-world people? Why are people with obsessive natures drawn to art and wine? How did getting into artists' studios transform the way Bianca looks at art? What does it mean to “stay in the work”? How does strategic snobbery create deliberate barriers to entry into the art and wine industries? Is there really a need for complex terminology and flowery language in describing wine? How has art speak evolved to become less descriptive and more exclusionary? Why does Bianca differentiate between the logic behind wine descriptions and art speak? What's behind the art world's suspicion of beautiful things and are there parallels in the wine world? How do art and wine help us to discover and appreciate beauty in the everyday?   Key Takeaways Bianca observed an all-consuming passion and intensity in both worlds. As she says: "I'd never met a group of people willing to sacrifice so much for something of so little obvious practical value." They are both in their own way, hedonistic. They really sort of involve all of us - our minds, and our bodies. Strategic snobbery creates deliberate barriers to entry into the art and wine worlds. Bianca explains that it exists to keep out the "Joe Schmoes." The language is one of these constructions that exists to distinguish you as someone that does or does not get it. Bianca advises to slow down and absorb your experiences. It's also what I teach my online wine and food pairing students. Think about what you're experiencing and what you're tasting.   About Bianca Bosker Bianca Bosker is the author of the New York Times bestselling books Get the Picture: A Mind-Bending Journey among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends Who Taught Me How to See and Cork Dork.

The contemporary art world is nothing if not confusing. It is simultaneously deeply frivolous, and takes itself way too seriously. Its business dealings combine total mystification with conspicuous consumption, and the exact mechanisms by which one type of art gets celebrated above another are very often impossible to figure out. If you've ever struggled to make sense of it all, the journalist, Bianca Bosker's new book is worth picking up. It's called Get the Picture, A Mind-Bending Journey Among the Inspired Artists and Obsessive Art Fiends who Taught Me How to See, and it joins books like Anthony Hayden Guest's classic True Colors from 1998 and Sarah Thornton's Seven Days in the Art World from 2008, as an entertaining behind-the-scenes chronicle of art, though in a very different and maybe even more confusing moment. Bosker previously wrote Original Copies (2013) about architecture in China that replicates famous world monuments, and Cork Dork (2017), where she went inside the world of fine wine to try to decode its rituals. For Get the Picture, Bosker inserted herself in the striving, less-visible layers of the art industry, just beneath the glamorous images. She works the booth at a satellite fair in Miami where a gallery's very survival hinges on a few sales. And as a studio assistant for a painter whose success becomes a major headache as speculators start flipping her work. In some ways, Get the Picture will confirm all of the worst stereotypes about the contemporary art industry, and in others is the story of someone who slowly learns how to look past the caricatures by throwing herself into the thick of it, finding her own way to appreciate some of art's more eccentric values.

“There's the faintest soupçon of asparagus and just a flutter of Edam cheese,” says Paul Giamatti in the movie Sideways. Believe it or not, he's describing pinot noir, not quiche. The world of sommeliers, wine lists, and tasting notes is filled with this kind of language, prices seemingly rising in step with the number of bizarre adjectives. It's tempting to dismiss the whole thing as B.S., but listen in: this episode, author Bianca Bosker takes us along on her journey into the history and science behind blind tasting, wine flavor wheels, and the craft of the sommelier.

What can waffles tell us about in our lives that we might not otherwise see? And how do you make room for an open-mind? [23:45] This week, Aaron and Jess and Joey talk about the Waffle House Index, the best kind of floss, the trap of spurious correlations, lots of longform, doomscrolling, and making the most out of openness.

In this episode I call my boss, Rob, and I tell him a joke.Aside from being an excellent boss, Rob is also the reason I now reeeeeally like wine. When I was going on a holiday a couple of years ago, Rob gave me a book to read while traveling called Cork Dork, about a journalist who decides to get into the world of sommeliers. I thought it was going to be something I read a bit of just to be polite and so I could say I read it, but then I absolutely devoured it, and came home itching to appreciate wine. And luckily I had just the wine friend to help me on my way (it was Rob).This is the book, Rob and I both highly recommend it:http://www.biancabosker.com/cork-dork Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/ijustcalledtotellyouajoke.

Einkorn was new to them and farmer Stefano, and they were both worried and delighted to see how differently it grew. Einkorn yields a fifth of modern wheat and reaches above 5 feet tall by the harvest in late July. A decade has passed and the same farmers are still growing einkorn for Carla and Rodolfo.

This episode includes some basic knowledge necessary to understand French wine: how the French name their wines, where you find the most noted varietals, the concept of terroir, three major wine classifications, and some advice on buying French wine if you're not an expert and don't live in France. I also recommend a book, CORK DORK, for an entertaining glimpse into the training of a sommelier.

In our latest MBTB Radio podcast, we talk about the economics behind wine via the book "Cork Dork" by Bianca Bosker, a conversation with Winemaker Josh Morgan from Petoskey Farms, and reader input; and discuss upcoming events, new additions to the MBTB Tasting Room menus and more. Intro and segue music by bensound.com / Sound effects by freesound.org      

Join us for our most recent podcast interview where we talk to Bianca Bosker, New York Times Best Selling author of Cork Dork: A Wine-FUELED Adventure Among The Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste. We talk about Bianca's journey writing Cork Dork, the myths about being a naturally talented taster and ways to improve your sense of taste, and how to buy wine to impress. There is also a live blind coffee tasting! The perfect thing to listen to if you want actionable ways to improve your palate or just want to know more about wine and how it relates to coffee. Our favorite quotes include: I embrace a philosophy that I’ve applied to wine and it’s something that I learned from Paul Grieco who runs Terroir and I ended up working for him. And he used to make people promise to never try the same wine twice and when I first heard that piece of advice, I thought it was crazy. You know, like people collect deep into specific vintages and winemakers, but, the more I got to thinking about it, the more I realized that he was actually completely wise...I’m always trying something I haven’t had before.  I’ve always been obsessed with obsession so it was really for me, I think I started obsessed with the people that obsess over wine and by the end of it, I was a person obsessing over wine and I continue to be and that was something I hadn’t expected.  You go back to that two pieces of information strategy: what do you want to spend, what flavors do you want, and if the answer is that you don’t really know what flavors you want or what flavors your host might want, get something with a story.  I think you’ve answered your own question. Now I’m really not going to be able to drink coffee the same way, right? I think that’s so exciting. It’s all just words unless you have your own association. Now I’m going to be on the looking for “what is the natural Ethiopian”. We have whole parts of the world who’s coffee I haven’t tasted and I want to. Big thanks to Bianca for joining us and being open to new experiences, we had a great time enjoying wine, coffee, and cheese together! Bianca's book is beautifully written and great fun to read. You should grab a copy before you forget, it's $9.02 well spent.      The post An Interview (and Blind Coffee Tasting) with Bianca Bosker – NYT Bestselling Author of Cork Dork! appeared first on Angels' Cup.

Bianca Bosker sits down to discuss the journey that would become her acclaimed book Cork Dork, New York Times bestseller and Winner of 2018 M.F.K. Fisher Award for Excellence in Culinary Writing. We unpack how she worked her way through the wine world and became a wine expert.

In this episode we have Mike Wine-Guy from the podcast Ride Between the Wines(go check him out @ www.ridebetweenthewines.com!)! We discuss Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker and talk about wine A LOT! Then we jump into fiction..with a chat about Death in the Vines!

Laura Lawson's guest is Bianca Bosker, author of the book "Cork Dork".

Hey! I’m in Italy right now guzzling allll the wine and pretending to like the tannen's and terroirs and hints of tobacco in it so I figured now’s as bene as time as ever to re-air this grape chat all about wine! So today’s guest used to just be a regular person. Or a civilian, as she calls it. Not too long ago Bianca Bosker was just a run of the mill boxed wine drinker, not giving any thought or sniffs to wine that she’d sip, until one day she discovered something that forever changed the way she viewed fermented grapes: she stumbled upon the secret world of sommeliers and became, well, obsessed. I’m not going to spoil the rest of the story - I’ll let Bianca tell you her tale but if you’ve been curious about how to feel more comfortable ordering or buying wine, which wines pair perfectly for plant-y dishes and whether wine really has any redeeming health qualities, I think Bianca, the New York Times bestselling author of CORK DORK is the perfect person to satiate your thirst for vino knowledge.   Get buzzed to hear:   - The two senses we've forgotten about and how to develop them! - The poetry (and bullshit) of tasting notes. - A peek into the secret world of sommeliers (it includes dance classes, obvs). - The difference between natural, organic, and biodynamic wine. - Does wine have any redeeming health qualities? - Why you shouldn’t feel bad buying wine based on a cute label! - Bianca’s go-to wines for plant-y dishes. - How to send a wine back the PC way. - And lots more!   Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!

This was an interesting read that provided insights into the wine industry, becoming a sommelier, and the intricate world of wine tasting by an amateur. A delight to read if you are a fan of wine and you have ever wondered what it would be like to taste, serve, smell, and deliver vino like the pros. It seems like a lot of work, we should have known, and could do with returning to our first schooling with a sommelier educator from #InVinoFab Episode #14 with Cheryl Stanley -- listen here: https://soundcloud.com/invinofab/episode-14-tasting-wine-cheryl-stanley Weird & Wacky Wines (see Patrice for more fact-checking & information)Meteorite-Aged Wine https://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2012/01/worlds-first-meteorite-aged-wine-launched/ 3 Penis Wine https://alesessions.com/2018/01/03/odd-spirits-three-penis-wine/ Korean Poo Wine https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/7b7zmg/how-to-make-faeces-wine Other weird wines http://mentalfloss.com/article/89670/9-cool-weird-and-wacky-wine-varieties Tune in for the next In Vino Fabulum Podcast episode by following: -- Hosts: Laura (@laurapasquini) & Patrice (@profpatrice)  -- Listen to this podcast via Stitcher, Google Play, & Apple Podcasts -- Twitter & Instagram: @InVinoFab with hashtag: #InVinoFab --Email us to be a guest or share a topic suggestion? invinofabulum@gmail.com 

Amanda and Jenn discuss light nonfiction, novels in verse, thrillers, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Temper by Nicky Drayden and Book Riot Insiders.   Feedback:   The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation by Lawrence Venuti The Translator by Nina Schuyler   Questions:   1. I typically read fantasy/science fiction books, but I have recently been trying to branch out. So recently, I read Cork-Dork by Bianca Bosker, which I found both charming and informative. Can you recommend similar nonfiction books? When I say similar I don't necessarily mean the topic, but rather in style. I loved the experience of a light non-fiction book where I felt I was joining the author in their immersive learning process about a particular topic. I am not looking for anything that is emotionally heavy, but rather something that sparks the desire to learn about something new. Thank you, --Jessica   2. Hello Amanda and Jenn! (And possibly, Liberty and/or Rebecca!) I'm writing to request help with birthday gifts for my niece and nephew. They have birthdays in early September. 1) NIECE - She will be 6. She likes books but doesn't reach for them herself. If I'm reading a book out loud, she drops what she's doing and will come sit by me to listen to the story. She has an older sister who is a bookworm, and she feels left out if anyone talks about books and she can't join in. She has started learning to read and will sound out letters with her parents or me. But she is self-conscious about it and hasn't really learned to enjoy a story yet because of that. Despite these difficulties, she is a great little girl - so curious about the world! She is very quick at math, loves riddles, and is very extroverted. She loves to wear matching accessories with her dresses. She once told me that her most favorite thing in the world is to eat dinner every day with her family. 2) NEPHEW - He will be 4. He loves to be read to. He especially likes picture books with a good dose of facts with fiction, e.g. Pop's Bridge (his favorite). I would like to buy him another picture book about famous bridges. No car/train/plane/construction/emergency vehicle books, please. He has all of them and insists that he's moving on from that phase of life (we have our doubts based on observations but haven't said anything either way). Hope this request isn't too long! Thanks for your help! --Sel   3. Hello Ladies, I am curious if you could recommend any novels told in verse? I have recently read and enjoyed The Watch that Ends the Night and Long Way Down (which was excellent on audio as read by Jason Reynolds himself). When I was younger and much angstier, I also read and enjoyed several Ellen Hopkins books which, upon reflection, are in line with what I want in regards to form, but not content. Aside from avoiding exploitative melodrama, I don’t have any particular topics or genres in mind for this request. The Poet X is already on my list. Thank you for the show, which always keeps my TBR way too long! --April   4. Hello! I tend to read a lot of "literary" fiction, but I love a page-turning psychological thriller every now and then. Unfortunately, all the thrillers I read seem to be by white (usually British, but sometimes American) women. Can you please recommend some twisty thrillers by people of color (still women, if possible!)? Just to clarify, I have read and enjoyed authors including Attica Locke and Sujata Massey, but I'm looking for more of a pure thriller (along the lines of B.A. Paris, Clare Mackintosh, etc.) - something fun and easy to read, not a cerebral mystery. I know you addressed a similar question for mysteries a few weeks ago, which really helped my TBR, but still didn't quite hit my thriller fix. Thanks! --Megan   5. My sister loved The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne and she is pining for another long drawn out depressing story (my take ;)). She also loves East of Eden and The Awakening. Thanks! --Maggie   6. I'm a fairly recent romance reader, and I have a few go-to authors (Courtney Milan, Tessa Dare, Rose Lerner, Alyssa Cole, Alisha Rai come to mind immediately). I've recently been reading Courtney Milan's Worth series, and Alisha Rai's Forbidden Hearts series. I love them both, and the thing that has drawn me in the most isn't so much the romantic relationships, but the family dynamics, secrets, and intrigues. I'm especially a sucker for reunion scenes with lost or estranged family members. Do you know of other romance series that center around families with similar themes? If it wasn't clear from my list of authors, I have a strong preference for romance with a feminist bent. Any romance subgenre is good. --Leslie   7. Most of the time I prefer more “serious” novels, but when I’m in a reading slump (or just exhausted from a heavy book), I like to pick up quick indulgent reads to get me back on track. The last few times this has happened, I’ve picked books like Kiera Cass’s The Selection series and Jillian Dodd’s Spy Girl series. Unfortunately, both have kind of let me down—I love the premises: strong female lead, escapist settings, some political conspiracy, sort of wish fulfillment-y in that a “regular” girl ends up hanging out with royalty, etc. However, I feel like these books miss so many opportunities to really be amazing: the girls get so caught up in the romances that the political intrigue gets put on the back burner (though I don’t mind some romance!), they are very white/heteronormative, and the lead (especially in The Selection) doesn’t have much of a growth arc even though the story totally sets up the possibility. Can you recommend some similar but, uh, better options? Doesn’t have to be YA (maybe that’s part of my problem) or series but should be something I can read in only a few sittings! Thanks! --Carol   Books Discussed: Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse Changeless by Gail Carriger The Earth Moved by Amy Stewart I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong Here to There and Me To You by Cheryl Keely Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson The Lost Ones by Sheena Kamal Yesterday by Felicia Yap Pachinko by Min Jin Lee Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Sweet Tea and Sympathy (Southern Eclectic #1) by Molly Harper It Takes Two to Tumble (Seducing the Sedgwicks #1) by Cat Sebastian Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C.

Wine and cheese are perfect partners and knowing more about each will help you go from good to great with pairings! Cheese Master Jill Davis of Murray's Cheese tells us all about cheese and we discuss how best to pair certain types of cheese with wine! Here are the notes: There is an amazing parallel history of fermented stuff -- we discuss the evolution of wine and cheese and how they are so very similar. Jill gives us a primer on how to make cheese. We talk cows, sheep, goats, and buffalo and how seasons, geography, and diet all make a huge difference in how our cheese tastes. Little Miss Muffet gets a nod in this part of the show too (curds -n- whey, anyone?) We discuss the various categories of cheese --fresh, bloomy rind, washed rind and what fits where.  We talk about why European cheese is different/better than the cheese available in the US and UK often. While still discussing cheese making and types, we weave in lots of info about pairing. Bloomy rinds and Champagne blue and a great sweet German Auslese medium cheeses like wax Gouda with Beaujolais washed rind or aged cheese with tannic, barrel aged reds. And our favorite adage "what grows together, goes together!" Finally, I offer some commentary on how wine may need to become more like cheese to get rid of the snobbery. It's up for debate, but it's food for thought! Thanks to Jill Davis for her time and deep knowledge and to our sponsors this week!    _____________________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors this week: YOU!

Caitlin, Ed, and Ryan talk wine and weed and dig into the book Cork Dorks. Roll up a handful of joints and join us as we talk about being blinded by solar bowls, kicking off the outdoor growing season, and taste a couple of very nice strains.

Some books can change the way you experience the world. Bianca Bosker's Cork Dork is one of these. It tells how she trained her senses of smell and taste to become a sommelier, starting from a position of almost complete ignorance about wine. But more than that it is a book about experiencing the world more fully.  For more episodes of Thinking Books, go to www.thinkingbooks.co

This week on Open Stacks, Carolyn Purnell talks about the history of the senses and her delectable book "The Sensational Past." Bianca Bosker talks about her book "Cork Dork", which explores the wild world of wine-obsessed sommeliers. Plus, tasting notes from local somm Derrick Westbrook. Open Stacks is the official podcast of the Seminary Co-operative Bookstores. This week's episode was produced by Kit Brennen and Imani E. Jackson.

Bianca Bosker traded a tech writing job for an immersion into wine for her book "Cork Dork." She worked as a cellar rat, trained with top sommeliers, met with sensory scientists to learn how the brain affects smell and taste and studied to earn her sommelier's certificate. Lynn Fritz, owner of Lynmar Estate, located in Russian River Valley (Sonoma) discusses the range of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines produced in his three vineyards using minimal intervention and meticulous clonal selection.This show is broadcast live on Wednesday's at 2PM ET on W4CY Radio – (www.w4cy.com) part of Talk 4 Radio (http://www.talk4radio.com/) on the Talk 4 Media Network (http://www.talk4media.com/).

This episode is an audio review of New York Times Bestselling book, Cork Dork: A wine-fueled adventure among the obsessive sommeliers, big bottle hunters, and rogue scientists who taught me to live for taste, by Bianca Bosker. We also, ironically, open a couple of screw cap wines, drop a factoid, and serve up some shoutouts.

There was a time when all the world knew of Viognier was a lousy 14 hectares in France. Luckily for us, Viognier has grown to about 2,000 hectares today, with plantings in nearly every major wine region. On today's show, the Wine Warriors sample some 100% Viognier wines from Washington, France, California, and Australia. Then, Scott walks the crew through a discussion on Malolactic Fermentation.

Show #170 | Guest: Author Bianca Bosker. | Show Summary: Bianca Bosker gave up her job as executive tech editor at the Huffington Post in favor of tasting wines at 8 a.m., lifting and sorting heavy bottles as a “cellar rat” in one of Manhattan’s top restaurants; she sacrificed coffee, spicy foods, and sometimes even toothpaste, so as not to blunt her taste buds. CORK DORK: A Wine-Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live for Taste takes the reader inside an elite tasting group, a Burgundy bacchanal, a Michelin-starred restaurant, an fMRI machine, and more as Bosker strives to make sense, once and for all, of our complicated relationship with fermented grape juice.

The Road to Wine Expert Summit is an online gathering of some of the wine industry's best and brightest… and us, for some reason.

Bianca Bosker, author of Cork Dork, is easily the most relatable and hilarious wine experts of our generation. Kind, smart and unassumingly brilliant when it comes to all things... but especially wine. This 5 minutes warm salad of Seared Radishes with Mint stuns and surprises her, almost as much as the 6 pack of Bud Light tall boys in my refrigerator.

Bianca Bosker published "Cork Dork A Wine Fueled Adventure Among the Obsessive Sommeliers, Big Bottle Hunters, and Rogue Scientists Who Taught Me to Live For Taste" in March, 2017. Bianca takes a deep dive and manic journey into the world of somms, collectors, scientists, restaurants, somm certification and more. Bianca is an award winning journalist and author with contributions to the NY Times, Food & Wine,The Atlantic, The WSJ, the Guardian, and The New Republic to name a few.

Bianca Bosker left a career as a tech writer to explore the world of sommeliers, wine makers, and well-heeled oenophiles. A wine novice at first, Bosker quickly got sucked into the community of bottle-obsessives through working in restaurants and attending tastings and events, including the notorious La Paulée fest, which Bianca describes a big “wine orgy.” After becoming a certified sommelier, Bosker turned the notes from her journey into "Cork Dork," an immensely entertaining book that demystifies the wine industry. In her chat With Helen and Greg, Bianca looks back on some of the most surprising moments she encountered on her quest to becoming a master taster, and she offers some notes on how anyone can approach wine like a bona fide Cork Dork.  Learn more about your ad choices.

We are pleased to welcome, Bianca Bosker. Bianca is drinking Gut Oggau Atanasius 2014 G, H, PCR Dunkelfelder - A grape variety used for red wine, created by Gustav Adolf Froelich. Ask The Panel "The whole premise of her book is that anyone can become a cork dork. However she is not exactly "anyone." She's clearly a highly motivated woman who went to Princeton and worked as a technology editor at a major newspaper. And as she admits, she had access to unbelievable resources and people who assisted her along her journey. All of this is to say that when I was reading the book, I felt absolutely convinced that becoming a cork dork is not something "anyone" can achieve. What are her thoughts on this?" From Reddit user "CheeseyCurl" What’s up? What do you have your eyes on or what do you have coming up.

Zach chats with Bianca Bosker, author of the new book "Cork Dork," about her tourney from tech writer to wine obsessive, mindfulness, and how to learn to trust your own sense.

"I am obsessed with other people's obsessions" This quote sets the tone for how engaged and involved you become when you read Cork Dork. Bianca Bosker, previously the executive tech editor at the Huffington Post, left her job and set out to understand Sommeliers and their obsessions, whilst trying to become a certified Somm in under one year. In today's interview we get to hear about Bianca's journey from philistine to blind taster, the sacrifices she made, is fine wine a genuine industry or just a playground for the rich, and the truth about how knock-off mass production wines are created. Bianca has an incredible story and deserves respect and applause for the depths that she went to in one year. This book has opened my eyes to the true value of wine and has become a springboard to continue my education. Cork Dork is now available online and in-stores. Follow @bbosker on Instagram to see more.

“There’s the faintest soupçon of asparagus and just a flutter of Edam cheese,” says Paul Giamatti in the movie Sideways. Believe it or not, he’s describing pinot noir, not quiche. The world of sommeliers, wine lists, and tasting notes is filled with this kind of language, prices seemingly rising in step with the number of bizarre adjectives. It’s tempting to dismiss the whole thing as B.S., but listen in: this episode, author Bianca Bosker takes us along on her journey into the history and science behind blind tasting, wine flavor wheels, and the craft of the sommelier. You’ll never feel lost in front of a wine list again.

If it’s geeky, funny or silly we sniffed it out this week. We have native grapes from Italy, talk about a geeky Greek grape, and have just a bit of a WTF moment where Champagne and ice cubes collide. There’s a dose of education chased with some banter, and we hope you enjoy our little geek trek into the crazy hot matrix of wine.
