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. But in Book One we find 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 does not neglect them. Nor does 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. 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 an amazing story, and wine just so happens to be where it all started.
