Do yourself a favor before you read this book, have a bottle of wine ready. Have a good loaf of bread and cheese out.
This book is going to make you hungry. If I'd have realized this in advance, I would have been prepared :) so, I just wanted to make that suggestion. This book would be best enjoyed with good wine and appetizers.
Ok, back to the book. I definitely enjoyed the idea of this story. The lead character is in a writing slump when he finds out about this mysterious wine that has gone missing many years ago. It's almost an urban legend, people talk about it but aren't sure if it could exist.
Bruno's greatest passions in life are cooking/food and wine. He loves the process of cooking and he loves eating a great meal. He also enjoys wine, possibly too much. It seems like he celebrates a lot of daily events with expensive bottles of wine (got fired? How about spending part of your severance check on gourmet food and expensive wine?)
But it's hard to judge him for it much because clearly it's his great passion in life.
He has an estranged wife and two children and he's trying to win his family back by writing this book. But he's really not that good to his wife in my opinion and I wasn't really rooting for him to win her back.
I felt like the book, the food and the wine were his biggest pulls in life. Maybe love is too, but if I was supposed to want him back with his wife, I just didn't. He seemed like he was nicer to strangers on a bus than he was to her.
