Book excerpt: An Epicurean Odyssey: Sommelier Stories is Robert Giorgione's second book. It is a personalised journey through food and wine embellished with mouth-watering anecdotes and experiences. Think of an exciting blend of Anthony Bourdain's "Kitchen Confidential," a Quentin Tarantino movie, a hint of Keith Floyd, a large portion of wonderfully-evocative memories, a splash of "Sideways" and a dash of controversy thrown in for good measure and you have "Sommelier Stories." It also features more than 90 recipes from family, friends and well-known chefs all with bespoke wine pairings. "Sommelier Stories" also includes links to hundreds of websites, blog articles, videos, interviews, tasting notes, reviews and great food and wine matching ideas. Robert Giorgione has been a highly respected sommelier since 1997, having worked in some of the most high profile restaurants in the UK. In 2009 he established his independent wine consultancy.
