In this bodice-ripping wine book that got widespread and
excellent reviews in hardcover, multiple James Beard and
IACP award-winning writer Natalie MacLean’s journey through
the international world of wine is the perfect companion
for neophytes and wine aficionados alike. Natalie travels to the ancient vineyards of Burgundy to
uncover the secrets of the pinot noir, the “heartbreak
grape” from which some of the most coveted wines in the
world are made. She visits the labyrinthine cellars of
Champagne to examine the myths and the mystique of bubbly.
She pulls on sturdy boots to help with the harvest at the
vineyards of iconoclastic Californian winemaker Randall
Grahm and goes undercover as sommelier for a night in a
five-star restaurant with a wine list the thickness of a
telephone directory. She looks at the influence of powerful
critics, notably Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson, invites
readers into her dining room for an informal wine tasting,
and compares collecting notes at a bacchanalian dinner with
novelist Jay McInerney.
