          ''Hugely entertaining'' Jay Rayner

          ''A brilliantly Bourdain-ish tale of a young woman making her way through the sexist American fine-dining world'' Observer

          Aged twenty-one, Victoria James was named the US''s youngest sommelier, working in Michelin-starred restaurants, serving the finest wines.

          The groping patrons she learned to handle, but, behind the scenes, the world of high-end dining was a mess of fractious relationships and unacknowledged abuse. It would take hitting rock-bottom for Victoria to find her way back to the industry she adores.

          Wine Girl is the memoir of a young woman breaking free from her traumatic childhood. It''s the story of overcoming a notoriously misogynistic business, and of the restorative power of a glass of wine with friends.

          ''Addictive'' Stylist

          ''A must-read'' Daily Telegraph

          ''I glugged at the gossipy bits and sipped at the sad parts . . . you''ll raise a glass to her extraordinary resilience'' Sunday Times
