{"product_id":"epistenology-wine-as-experience-9780231197519","title":"Epistenology: Wine as Experience","description":"We think we know how to appreciate wine--trained connoisseurs take dainty sips in sterile rooms and provide ratings based on objective knowledge and technical expertise. In \u003ci\u003eEpistenology\u003c\/i\u003e, Nicola Perullo vigorously challenges this approach, arguing that it is the enjoyment of drinking wine as an active and participatory experience that matters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePerullo argues that wine comes to life not in the abstract space of the professional tasting but in the real world of shared experiences; wines can change in these encounters, and drinkers along with them. Just as a winemaker is not simply a producer but a nurturer, a wine is fully known only through an encounter among a group of drinkers in a specific place and time. Wine is not an object to analyze but an experience to make, creatively opening up new perceptual possibilities for settings, cuisines, and companions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe result of more than twenty years of research and practical engagement, \u003ci\u003eEpistenology\u003c\/i\u003e presents a new paradigm for the enjoyment of wine and through it a philosophy based on participatory and relational knowledge. This model suggests a profound shift--not knowledge \u003ci\u003eabout\u003c\/i\u003e but \u003ci\u003ewith\u003c\/i\u003e wine. Interweaving philosophical arguments with personal reflections and literary examples, this book is a journey with wine that shows how it makes life more creative and free.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Perullo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Arts and Traditions of the Table: Perspectives on Culinary H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231197519","brand":"Columbia University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43349329903753,"sku":"9780231197519","price":26.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_4553d4b8-a3b0-4b93-ae73-526d74a188e4.jpg?v=1739260666","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/epistenology-wine-as-experience-9780231197519","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
