{"product_id":"epistenology-nicola-perullo-9780231197502","title":"Epistenology: Wine as Experience","description":"\u003cp\u003eWe 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 \u003cem\u003eEpistenology\u003c\/em\u003e, Nicola Perullo vigorously challenges this approach, arguing that it is the enjoyment of drinking wine as an active and participatory experience that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result of more than twenty years of research and practical engagement, \u003cem\u003eEpistenology\u003c\/em\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 \u003cem\u003eabout\u003c\/em\u003e but \u003cem\u003ewith\u003c\/em\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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Perullo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0231197500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780231197502\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Columbia University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.93lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.63d","brand":"Nicola Perullo","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48135950500095,"sku":"9780231197502","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_af44b16a-a313-4999-acfe-b14f2d1dc781.jpg?v=1770159521","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/epistenology-nicola-perullo-9780231197502","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
