Smart and very funny, satirical but deeply felt, Wine People is a shrewd, clear-eyed love letter to wine and the people who make, import, and drink it.

Wildgen beautifully captures the shifting feelings and perspectives of a long friendship evolving over time, even as she illuminates a little-known corner of wine culture. An intriguing read!
