With the holidays approaching, it’s time to recommend books to give the wine lovers on your list. Here are my top picks from among wine books released this year. “ The Drops of God 1 ” (Vertical, $15), by Tadashi Agi and Shu Okimoto, is the manga cartoon serial that ignited a wine revolution in Japan, freshly translated into English.

The plot is appropriately melodramatic: The son of Japan’s most eminent wine writer is forced by his dead father’s will to compete against the country’s most talented young wine critic to identify the 12 most wonderful wines ever made, plus one called “The Drops of God.” The contest is nowhere near finished by the end of Volume 1, but along the way we learn how to (flamboyantly) decant old Burgundy, and we find out how fabulous vintages of first-growth Bordeaux strangely remind everyone of the same art masterpiece. It’s a fun, easy read. Read full article > >
