Welcome to Book Club and Episode 2703 of the Italian Wine Podcast with Richard Hough. In this episode, Richard is in conversation with Maryse Chevriere, author of “How to Sound Wine Smart: An Illustrated Guide”. Highlights of the conversation include: The origins of Maryse Chevriere’s interest in wine Her diverse career in wine hospitality The inspiration behind her hand-drawn tasting notes Her advice on approaching a wine list and enhancing your tasting experience The use of drinking games as a study tool The Boston wine scene and evolving consumer trends “How to Sound Wine Smart: An Illustrated Guide” is published by Simon & Schuster and is available to order at: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/How-to-Sound-Wine-Smart/Maryse-Chevriere/9781668087763  The Book Review by Richard Hough: “How to Sound Wine Smart: An Illustrated Guide” by Maryse Chevriere is an engaging and playful book aimed at demystifying the often stodgy world of wine in the form of a charmingly illustrated glossary. While there are many wine guides that serve a similar purpose, “How to Sound Wine Smart” takes a refreshingly irreverent approach to tackling some of the wine world’s most idiosyncratic jargon. About today’s guest: Maryse Chevriere is a writer, wine professional and illustrator based in Boston, Massachusetts. A certified sommelier, her career in wine has spanned New York City, San Francisco and Boston, where she has enjoyed roles as a retail consultant, restaurant wine director, and distribution sales representative.
