Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker

Book review: Cork Dork by Bianca Bosker This very entertaining memoir is the chronicle of Biana’s year spent delving into the world of wine connoisseurs. It does provide interesting insights into the lives of these obsessed people, and once again touches on the neuroscience of the brain and how it adapts and changes. She travels within different circles of the wine world, restaurants, retailers, contestants, vineyards and critics. She does a good job of not only describing these worlds, but also of questioning them and posing the asking how valid or how self manufactured some of this is.
