FOOD & DRINK


Discover new favorites by tracing wine back to its rootsStill drinking Cabernet after that one bottle you liked five years ago? It can be overwhelming if not intimidating to branch out from your go-to grape, yet everyone wants their next wine to be new and exciting. How should you choose the right one? Award-winning wine writer Alice Feiring presents an all-new way to look at the world of wine. While grape varietal is important, a surprising amount of information about flavor and composition can be gleaned from a region’s soil. Feiring’s guide makes it simple to find wines you’ll love.

Breaking new ground and revealing new connections, The Dirty Guide to Wine organizes wines not by grape, not by region, not by New or Old World, but by soil. If you enjoy a Chardonnay from California, you might find the same winning qualities in a Bordeaux. Feiring provides a clarifying account of the traditions and techniques of wine-tasting, demystifying the practice and introducing a whole new way to enjoy wine to sommeliers and novice drinkers alike.

MEMOIR

SUMMER 2017 7

“Love. So, so good. I laughed out loud.” —Jill Kargman, actress and writer of Odd Mom OutWhen Alexandra Zissu left the noise, pollution, and subway rats of New York City to move to the unspoiled Hudson Valley, she imagined a land of Pinterest-worthy farmers markets and rarified country air. There, she would raise her children and write in peace and quiet. . . .

Or so she thought. In this funny and gut-wrenchingly honest memoir, Zissu relays her time in the woods, which proves hilarious, frustrating, wonderful, and trying all at once. Modern Perils of Country Living is the infinitely readable testament of one brave urbanite’s journey from the West Village to the land of frogs, fireflies, and—unfortunately—ticks and spiders.

Nominated for a James Beard Award, more than 100 secret and forgotten formulas for illicit boozeAmerican Prohibition was far from watertight. If you knew the right people, or the right place to go, you could get a drink—most likely a variation of the real thing, made by blending smuggled, industrial alcohol or homemade moonshines with extracts, herbs, and oils to imitate the aroma and taste of familiar spirits. Most of the illegal recipes were written out by hand and secretly shared. The “lost recipes” in this book come from one such compilation, a journal hidden within an antique book of poetry, with 300 entries on making liquors, cordials, absinthe, bitters, and wine.

Lost Recipes of Prohibition features more than 70 pages from this notebook, with explanations and descriptions for real and faked spirits. Readers will also find historic and modern cocktails from some of today’s leading bartenders.

This is the first book to create a narrative of Bruff’s journey from his meticulously written and preserved diary. And featuring Bruff’s original pencil sketches and paintings, Forty-Niner provides a new, immersive vision of one of America’s most fabled eras.

SUMMER 2017 23

The extraordinary life of Lewis & Clark’s right-hand manIn 1804, John Colter set out with Meriwether Lewis and William Clark on the first U.S. expedition to traverse the North American continent. During the twenty-eight month ordeal, Colter served as a hunter and scout, and honed his survival skills on the western frontier. But when the journey was over, Colter stayed behind. He spent two more years trekking alone through dangerous and unfamiliar territory, charting some of the West’s most treasured landmarks. Historian David W. Marshall crafts this captivating history from Colter’s primary sources, and has retraced Colter’s steps—experiencing firsthand how he survived in the wilderness (how he pitched a shelter, built a fire, followed a trail, and forded a stream)—adding a powerful layer of authority and detail.
