Oeno-What? Don't worry, Courtney Cochran makes wine easy. She incorporates simple tips that give you that "A-Ha!" moment, over and over again. Cochran is the consummate hip sommelier, and HIP TASTES, the perfect companion. She's not afraid to go outside of the traditional, often safe, varietals and suggest delicious wines a little off the beaten path. Her tips aren't just tips, they are rules to live buy if you're serious - or not - about a good Aglianico. HIP TASTES is the pocket guide to wine success!

I always wanted a crash course on wine that didn't require endless hours of studying while leaving me with an empty bank account. Courtney's book is beautifully written, easy to read, memorable, and most importantly informative. If it worked for me, it can work for anyone!

I loved Courtney's book because of its accessibility - I was surprised at how thoroughly it covers all types of wine while still being fun to read. The book is a lot like one of Courtney's events - it's casual, tasteful, and fun.
