Description
'Hugely entertaining' Jay Rayner, Observer
'Addictive'Stylist
'James does for wine what Anthony Bourdain did for the high-pressure, low-marginworld of professional restaurants, exposing secrets kept from customers'Financial Times
Aged twenty-one, Victoria was named the US's youngest sommelier, working in Michelin-starred restaurants, serving the finest wines.
The groping patrons she learned to handle, but, behind the scenes, the world of high-end dining was a mess of fractious relationships and unacknowledged abuse. It would take hitting rock-bottom for Victoria to find her way back to the industry she adores.
Wine Girl is the memoir of a young woman breaking free from her traumatic childhood. It's the story of overcoming a notoriously misogynistic business, and of the restorative power of a glass of wine with friends.
