8.290 kr.A smart, witty, and delightfully informative guide to discovering and embracing wine, from the lauded former sommelier of Eleven Madison Park and Momofuku and the founder of Ramona spritzes.
Jordan Salcito was drawn to wine from a young age (her father shared memories of making wine with his father in their basement in their Italian American community), but she didn’t encounter great wine until she moved to New York and started working harvests at world-renowned wineries in Burgundy.

Using her personal journey as a template, she demystifies this beloved beverage for everyone, sharing vital information so you can be confident in finding wines that you love, too.
Jordan starts with a framework for tasting wine (where it all begins), then leads you through the wine making process, from the importance of soil quality to the best harvesting practices, explaining how each decision influences the final wine. She offers invaluable advice on navigating restaurant wine lists and cultivating your own tastes so you can find your new favorites. Jordan also teaches you how to define a personalized criteria so you can identify what you love, and then drink it.
Full of practical advice on understanding your beverage arsenal, historical tidbits that make the world of wine make more sense, and illustrations and infographs, Smart Mouth gives you permission to feel smart about wine and then go forth with confidence, drinking what you love. You’ll know what wine tools you actually need and what to get instead of Champagne when you’re hosting on a budget.
The wine world is large, but figuring out what you love doesn’t have to be overwhelming. The only expert in what tastes delicious to you is you. Smart Mouth will help you discover what that is.

Nox
11.990 kr.Nox is an epitaph in the form of a book, a facsimile of a handmade book Anne Carson wrote and created after the death of her brother. The poem describes coming to terms with his loss through the lens of her translation of Poem 101 by Catullus “for his brother who died in the Troad.” Nox is a work of poetry, but arrives as a fascinating and unique physical object. Carson pasted old letters, family photos, collages and sketches on pages.
The poems, typed on a computer, were added to this illustrated “book” creating a visual and reading experience so amazing as to open up our concept of poetry.
