Unpretentious and fun, Grace De Morgan’s wine guide, Everything Happens for a Riesling, walks the tightrope between hilarity and actually being pretty darn useful. Rather than make you feel rubbish about your tastes and knowledge (or lack of), this book will find and release your inner wine lover. She runs through the history of wine, Aussie and Kiwi regions to watch and how to discover more wine you like. The author has used the expertise of “wine whisperers”, including renowned Australian sommeliers, winemakers such as Michael Ng, from Georgraphe’s Ironcloud Wines, wine retailers, and some comedic buddies. Uncomplicated advice on choosing a wine at a bar, restaurant and bottle shop is sure to come in handy. Plus, if you have trouble remembering wine characteristics, handily De Morgan has given them personalities (cabernet franc is the Idris Elba of the wine world — rich, attractive and little bit cheeky). If you want to learn more about wine but have as much fun as drinking it, this is for you.
