Summary "At just twenty-one, the age when most people are starting to drink (well, legally at least), Victoria James became the country's youngest sommelier at a Michelin-starred restaurant... Exhilarating and inspiring, Wine Girl is the memoir of a young woman breaking free from an abusive and traumatic childhood on her own terms; an ethnography of the glittering, high-octane, but notoriously corrosive restaurant industry; and above all, a love letter to the restorative and life-changing effects of good wine and good hospitality."-- Page [2] of cover.
"An affecting memoir from the country's youngest sommelier, tracing her path through the glamorous but famously toxic restaurant world"-- Provided by publisher.
