“I want to die with a glass of Dom Pérignon in one hand and a fried chicken drumstick in the other, if I could I’d bottle Riesling as a perfume, and I think that serving a plate of freshly shucked oysters and a bottle of Muscadet at a dinner party is just about the most understatedly elegant thing one can do.”

A deeply felt memoir from Whiting Award–winner

Nadia Owusu.

"Nadia Owusu’s debut memoir, Aftershocks, has those residual tremors that follow an earthquake as its central metaphor, and the author had plenty of life-shaking events around which to orient her narrative. There is something fairy tale–like about Owusu’s story, an orphan-like existence of struggle and survival, but there is no fairy godmother who rescues this heroine—just a growing sense of self-awareness to orient her in a troubling world."—VOGUE

“Wine, after all, is more than just what’s in your glass. Wine, if you let it, will take you on a journey through time in a study of history, geography, and science. Wine can inspire travel, spark conversation, evoke memories. Wine imparts language, expresses culture. This is what makes it endlessly fascinating both to drink and to study.”
