''Hugely entertaining'' Jay Rayner
''A brilliantly Bourdain-ish tale of a young woman making her way through the sexist American fine-dining world'' Observer
Aged twenty-one, Victoria James was named the US''s youngest sommelier, working in Michelin-starred restaurants, serving the finest wines.
The groping patrons she learned to handle, but, behind the scenes, the world of high-end dining was a mess of fractious relationships and unacknowledged abuse. It would take hitting rock-bottom for Victoria to find her way back to the industry she adores.
Wine Girl is the memoir of a young woman breaking free from her traumatic childhood. It''s the story of overcoming a notoriously misogynistic business, and of the restorative power of a glass of wine with friends.
