Jill reviews How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto by Eric Asimov
This week New York-based wine marketer Erica Nonni facilitates a conversation between Eric Asimov and Stephen Satterfield about the language of wine. Eric Asimov is the New York Times' Wine Critic. His weekly column appears in the Food section of The Times. He is also the author of How to Love Wine: A Memoir and Manifesto, and Wine With Food: Pairing Notes and Recipes From The New York Times. Stephen Satterfield is a food writer, multimedia producer and founder of Whetstone Magazine, a beautiful publication about food origins, culture and the anthropology of food. These two leading voices in the wine industry share a curiosity and sense of responsibility when it comes to how we communicate around the complex topic of wine. Does language provide or hinder access to wine information? How does it relate to the assessment of wine and to regionalism, fundamental to traditional wine producing areas? Should there be a universal language in wine? This conversation, which took place at the July 2020 edition of Fine Minds 4 Fine Wines, touches upon so much more than language, not just how we talk about wine, but the greater impact it has on our culture.

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 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
