In The Wine Snob’s Dictionary (Broadway; $12.95), David Kamp and David Lynch skewer the often-pretentious world of winespeak with arch definitions of everything from Aerator (“unnecessary status gadget”) to Zero manipulation (“righteous buzz-term” employed by the anti–Michel Rolland camp). A must-read for anyone who loves to discuss The Grape (“exceptionally pretentious synonym for wine”). Out October 14.
