Description:
Hang on to your seat for an unforgettable tour of our wine planet. Combining witty words and provocative pictures, the author explains why a single grape variety can make a soft, fruity wine on one side of the globe and a gutsy, age worthy wine on the other--showing how you too can taste the world in a glass of wine. Illustrated with more than 10 photos, this volume takes a simple, unique, visually evocative approach to describe how the major grape varieties taste-- from Chardonnay to Merlot to Sangeiovese--giving details on their origins and flavors, with useful information about where each is grown, the role of the winemaker, winemaking techniques, and environmental issues.
