Bringing Wine Home: Book Two (Volume 2)

By Jesse Collett Frost

From a busy Manhattan wine shop, to a small Kentucky farm, Bringing Wine Home tells the story of how a few unique winemakers inspired Jesse Frost to explore the drink beyond the gullet, and to reimagine wine into something anyone could make and enjoy; something anyone should. In Book One we found it didn't come easy. As a hard-drinking son of two alcoholics, wanting to be a winemaker came with its own share of issues, and the narrative did not neglect them. Nor did it neglect to explain how someone aspiring to make wine would end up, not in the vineyards of California or Europe, but rather working on a vegetable farm in Bugtussle, Ky--on purpose. In Book Two we arrive on said farm. We explore nature from the perspective of someone who suddenly feels like he's experiencing if for the first time. The book flows in and out of observation and hilarious anecdote--whether in winemaking or just attempting to survive farming--until it runs smack dab into a love story, then it shamelessly revels in that event for a while. And although Bringing Wine Home is technically a book about wine, and a book because of it, it is hardly a technical wine book. It's a memoir about farming, about food, about sustainability, fermentation and unavoidably, unabashedly, love. Though more than anything, from soil to stomach, it is simply a great story, and wine just happens to be where it all started.
