I Drink on the Job Charlie Adler

Charlie Adler thinks traditional wine education needs to be turned on its head. A wine professional, international speaker, and head of a 20,000-member wine and food event organization, he has dedicated more than a decade to the exploration and enjoyment of wine. In his book I Drink On the Job: A Refreshing Perspective On Wine, which is based on Washington, DC's top class, Wine Basics 101, the author takes the subject of wine far beyond the expected. Adler throws out convention and challenges the new wine consumer to approach wine like any other pleasurable consumer good: drink first and ask questions later! Pulling from the responses of thousands of wine lovers, Adler explores wine with one goal in mind: promoting a glass of wine (or two!) as an important part of America's meals. There's nothing stuffy or pretentious about the author's approach to wine, in fact, his humorous anecdotes and stories in the trenches of DC's vibrant international wine scene make for a page-turning read!
