Fine Waters by Michael Mascha
Water is indeed everywhere - especially bottled water. High-end restaurants now have water lists in addition to wine lists, water bars are opening up around the globe, and gourmet markets are selling dozens of different varieties of domestic and imported bottled waters. Consumers are beginning to recognize that bottled water, like wine, has a unique identity that is defined by its origin-whether springs, wells, or glaciers. According to connoisseur Michael Mascha, proprietor of the Web site finewaters.com, bottled water deserves some focused attention and a prominent place on our tables. Bottled waters can be an epicurean delight if water is paired with the right food, served in the right stemware, and enjoyed at the right temperature. But unfortunately, bottled water drinkers are exposed to only a few of the major brands, and until now, there's never been a guide for connoisseurs.
Dr. Michael Mascha is a food anthropologist, culinary expert, and the proprietor of www.finewaters.com. Mascha, a former assistant professor of visual anthropology at the University of Southern California, has been a passionate devotee of the culinary arts for more than 20 years. He first formed the idea for launching Finewaters.com after he developed a heart condition, which prohibited him from drinking alcohol. With his great passion for the epicurean lifestyle, Mascha explored various ways to expand his culinary experiences by adding fine bottled waters, rather than wine, to his menu.
