'Tom is one of my favourite people to taste wine with' - Oz Clarke
'Tom's love of wine is matched by his dedication to sharing down-to-earth insights with accessibility and fun' - Olly SmithFrom grape to glass, this highly readable and charismatic guide will teach you everything you need to know to enjoy wine.Wine is one of the most popular drinks across the globe, it brings people together and has a rich social and cultural history, it's also astoundingly delicious. But it can also be intimidating, confusing and unnecessarily complicated. It can be hard to know where to start: how is wine made? What's the difference between red and white? How do I know what to buy in a shop? Am I holding my glass correctly?In this modern and accessible introduction to wine, Tom Surgey answers all these questions and more; doing away with old-school snobbery and teaching you how to get the most out of your favourite drink.About the Author
A charismatic and engaging communicator, Tom has worked in the hospitality industry since he was fourteen. Aged twenty, he found himself at The Ivy in London, where a hero called Sancho taught him the basics of wine. Tom's route into the world of wine and his extraordinary experiences in the industry bring a rare, natural approach to the subject; full of love, warm wit and digestible wisdom, the antithesis to the staid, exclusive narrative that perseveres. A modern, relatable approach to wine.
Since The Ivy, wine has pulled Tom through roles building engaging wine-lists for restaurants, running international sales teams for industry-leading and up-and-coming wine producers, a bit of telly, a bit of radio, hundreds of live events and more. Right now, he tries, with moderate success, to balance his trade consultancy and media work alongside his young family.Product Details
