An affecting memoir from a young sommelier, struggling to make her way into the glamorous but notoriously toxic restaurant world
'Hugely entertaining' Jay Rayner, Observer
'James does for wine what Anthony Bourdain did for the high-pressure, low-margin world of professional restaurants, exposing secrets kept from customers' Financial Times
'James writes powerfully . . . . you'll raise a glass to her extraordinary resilience'
Sunday Times
A sommelier's tale of making it in the toxic world of fine dining
Aged thirteen, Victoria James started her first job in a diner in New Jersey.
Aged nineteen, Victoria was serving sugary Cosmopolitans in a restaurant off Broadway.
Aged twenty-one, Victoria was named the US's youngest sommelier, working in Michelin-starred restaurants, serving the finest wines to pair with spectacular foods.
The groping patrons she learned to handle, but behind the scenes, the world of high 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 the notoriously corrosive restaurant industry, and of the restorative power of a glass of wine with friends.
