Check out Marnie Old

There are plenty of reasons to be a fan of Marnie Old. She was fabulous as the sommelier at Stripped Bass. Her book “He said Beer, She said Wine” was one of the best wine books published in 2008. She’s a great teacher about wine (and now beer!).

Marnie Old’s Books

He Said Beer, She Said Wine

Check it out on Amazon. Most of the reviews are glowing. There are a few nasty reviews of Marnie & Sam’s book, which are obviously written by people who hate her for being a great female sommelier

Here is an example:

“The concept is interesting. The idea of debating which beverage pairs better with different types of food is neat. However, some of the food chemistry is blatantly incorrect. Someone please tell Marnie that all salts are not bases and table salt NaCl is neutral. The “witty repartee” tends to be more entertainment than informative. I do believe Calagione states his arguments better and with less attitude.”

Don’t let such bad mouthing from malcontents sway you from buying this book. Its a great read!
