Are you tired of wine reviews with flowery descriptions that read like grocery lists? Yeah, well, so are the authors of X Rated Wines, the ultimate source for everyone who likes wine but can't get into pedantic wine critics and stuffy wine books and magazines — in other words, for real people. Features include:
More than 1,500 wines reviewed, each having received one of the magazine's trademark rankings, from X (Gets It Done) to XXX (Gotta Have It).
Reviews divided into "Over $15" and "Under $15" categories so it's easy to buy wine within your budget.
Background information so you can learn a thing or two about what you're drinking.
Amusing sidebars like the "Top Ten Fast Food and Wine Suggestions" and "Music and Wine Pairings."
The reviews in X Rated Wines are both irreverent and insightful. Consider this critique of a Napa Valley cabernet sauvignon: "A deep French kiss in a phone booth — nice depth, great mouth feel, a little woody, a bit tight." Or this Australian shiraz: "Like a Grant Hill slam dunk — bold, spicy and in your face!" Whether you're pondering what to purchase at your local spirits shop or which bottle to order with dinner, X Rated Wines will open your mind to a new way of thinking about wine.

X Rated Wines: The Wine-X Magazine Guide to Wine
I started this book when I first moved to the east coast 10 years ago. I got distracted and didn't make much progress. On the 10th year of my arrival I'm glad I finally finished it. After reading the first few chapters in 2010 I sought out Chrysalis Winery. It became a staple of my Virginia winery visits, bringing friends and dates here over the years, and almost getting married here in 2016 (we chose another winery that had more/better bathrooms haha). Now, after finally reading the rest of the book, I'm shocked to find out some absolutely amazing facts I never knew, including about the Norton grape, the owner Jenni who I've had the pleasure of meeting a couple of times, and the history of wine in Virginia. The book, while it starts and ends as a story about Virginia wine, very much becomes a history of wine in all of America. Highly recommend the read, but make sure you pick up a few bottles of Chrysalis Norton (and maybe the amazing 2008 Tannat) to accompany you along the journey.
