Okay so there is a bit of a food journey here. But mostly a self journey. We do get side tracked for a couple hundred pages talking about romantic entanglements, but can we get back to the food please? I would give reading other titles from this author a go, but I will probably not re-read this book for a while. This went a few unexpected places, and it was frustrating at times, but I think it concluded nicely. Wish I knew more about wine to make better sense of it all. 🍷🥂🍾

A really weird want to be Glee x Euphoria type of book.
The MFC tries way too hard to be Rachel Berry.
Her co-workers make their job site seem like the Euphoria set.
There was a decent amount of good language, and it made me crave coffee, red wine & dark chocolate.
