Description


Involving the grape funs, fox mother and the cub, this comprehensive guide in viticulture transforms the foxes from the Aesop's fable to the vineyards of France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, Rhone), Italy (Campania, Piedmont, Trentino, South Tyrol, Ottavianello), Sicily island (Noto, Pachino), Germany (Bavaria, Thuringia, Wurttemberg), Austria (Styria), China (Shandong), East Europe, Australia, South America, and the valleys of the USA, to classify the world's most reputable wines based on the vintage (grape variance) and appellation (estates). This mini-bible meticulously explains the brewing nuances and pitfalls for each wine. If you have a passing knowledge of wine and wish to go for the next level, there is no better place to proceed than this book. On comparative examples, it teaches how to evaluate the wines based on the sight (angle view, side view, tilted view, swirl, ullage, cork), sniff (flaws, aromas), and taste (balance, body, complexity, harmony, completeness). It describes the perfect wine-food pairs for each inclusive wine, from simple recipes to delicatessen. Written and illustrated in a pourquoi tale genre, this guidebook is an elating journey and has something for everyone.
