Within six months you’ll become the de facto sommelier of your social group. And by the end of the year, you’ll be taking somms to the mat and doing James Bond level wine sh*t. Legal Notice: Michael Amon is in no way responsible for any maniacal wine passion you develop by going down this rabbit hole or any sultry situations you may find yourself in. He is also not responsible for your feelings. If you’re timid or easily offended it’s probably better if you opt out now. If you’re still reading, buckle up. Sh*t’s about to get real…. Review "A brash but charming and fact-filled book for increasing one's wine knowledge." - Kirkus Reviews "The Most Interesting Man in the World of Wine." - The Black Wine Guy Experience "Mike brings an enormous slice of personality and cheeky,sardonic and sometimes laugh out loud humour to this work, and there is no stuffy pretentiousness you might expect from a book about wine - he cusses like a sailor, yet writes utterly eloquently; the book is filled with his urban vernacular and references to a gritty pop culture." - Matt McAvoy "Readers who do not appreciate heavy cuss words may want to avoid the book." - Online Book Club "The Ernest Hemingway of the wine world..." - Grape Encounters Radio "His style of writing is conversational, bragging and profane, full of in jokes... Amon is amusing and provocative enough to get me to read about things that I already know about." - The Gray Report "Drinking & Knowing Things demystifies wine with a punk rock approach..." - Pairs With Life "You have balls...it is wild when you get into Michael's brain."- JCB Live
