My First Big Crush EA
When Eric Arnold set out to write this book, he knew pretty much nothing about wine other than how much it would take to make him happier - and how much more would make him barf. Eric quit his job, gave up his apartment in Brooklyn and moved to Marlborough, New Zealand to live and work at Allan Scott Wines, all with the aim of writing the first wine book that doesn't suck. He returned home to New York with a completed manuscript 14 months later.
The book is broken into three parts. The first takes you through the harvest - the most crazy, hectic, engaging and important time of year at any winery, anywhere in the world. The second part takes you through everything that happens in the winery to turn grape juice into wine, while part three shows what has to be done in the vineyard to grow grapes for the next year's harvest. One-third of the people Eric meets through all three stages are some of the most real, down-to-earth, hardworking, fun-loving folks imaginable; another third are completely insane; and the rest are a combination of the two.

"Follow author Phoebe Damrosch on her journey through the food world and her rise to working in the pinnacle of Manhattan restaurants, Per Se. Her aspirations of being a four star server led her to a world of secrets and inspired her wonderfully well written book, Service Included: Four-Star Secrets of an Eavesdropping Waiter. Follow her journey from the bottom to the top of the food service industry, and find out what really happens once you get there!
WARNING: You won't want to put this down once you pick it up!

From the Publisher: Kitchen Confidential meets Sex and the City in this delicious, behind-the-scenes memoir from the first female captain at one of New York City's most prestigious restaurants

While Phoebe Damrosch was figuring out what to do with her life, she supported herself by working as a waiter. Before long she was a captain at the New York City four-star restaurant Per Se, the culinary creation of master chef Thomas Keller.

Service Included is the story of her experiences there: her obsession with food, her love affair with a sommelier, and her observations of the highly competitive and frenetic world of fine dining.

She also provides the following dining tips:

* Please do not ask your waiter what else he or she does.

* Please do not steal your waiter's pen.

* Please do not say you're allergic when you don't like something.

* Please do not send something back after eating most of it.

* Please do not make faces or gagging noises when hearing the specials...someone else at the table might like to order one of them.

After reading this book, diners will never sit down at a restaurant table the same way again."

The Book Of Sake EA
Signed copies will be available for pickup starting Saturday 09/23 at 5 PM!
Once found only in sushi bars and Japanese restaurants outside its native land, sake now lines the shelves of our gourmet food shops, liquor stores, supermarkets, and restaurants of all types. And as sake increasingly becomes a part of the way we dine and entertain, people everywhere are looking for guidance in sorting out the confusing and intimidating array of choices available. In The Book of Sake, brew master Philip Harper provides all the information anyone needs to discover the many pleasures of Japan's national tipple. Harper, the only non-Japanese to rise to the official rank of Master Brewer, describes * how to find each sake's sweet spot * how to distinguish all types of sake * how to enjoy their distinctive flavor and bouquet * what makes a good sake * how to match sake with food * where sake is made, and its regional flavor * how sake is made * how professional tasters judge sake * how to have a home sake-tasting party and much more. Harper also introduces tidbits of sake lore (as only an insider can), a groundbreaking new tasting chart, and a selection of sakes for all palates and pocketbooks by the esteemed sake journalist Haruo Matsuzaki. To round out the volume, Harper offers a fascinating tour of Japan's sake regions, then presents the most intriguing view of the sake brew master's art ever to be published in English.

Great Wines Of America EA
"Not too long ago, American wine was an object of ridicule. When compared to the great growths of Europe, it played in the minor leagues - if it even played the same game. All that has changed. At the start of the twenty-first century, the finest American wines hold their own with the best made anywhere. But which wines are these? And who are the people responsible for them? Because American vineyards are largely devoid of tradition, American vintners have had to make choices unknown to their Old World counterparts. These involve which grapes to grow, where best to plant the vines, and, most important, how to create rather than merely emulate truly distinctive wines. The Great Wines of America tells the story of how those choices, made successfully, have elevated American wine to unprecedented heights of quality and renown. "-Publisher
