"Veteran wine books are by modern standards short on facts." -

time." - Eric Asimov on Instagram "If you want to learn about wine,

Post In this unique approach to understanding wine, Hugh Johnson,
the world's best-loved wine author, weaves the story of his own
epic wine journey with an embracing view of everything he has
discovered along the way. Almost without realising it, the reader
is drawn into a fascinating world; with each page turned, knowledge
is gained and wine wisdom absorbed. Hugh takes us from the
teetering ledges of the Mosel and majestic chateaux of the Medoc to
the sylvan slopes of Windsor Great Park with a spring in his step
and a tasting glass at the ready. No one writes so infectiously on
every aspect of wine, whether human or cultural, technical or
historical. This book is peppered with anecdotes and personal
recollections, infused with the sheer delight Hugh finds in his
subject. It is a book with a story to tell and a mastery of wine to
impart. Previously published as Wine, A Life Uncorked 2005, now

The remarkable untold story of France’s courageous, clever vinters who protected and rescued the country’s most treasured commodity from German plunder during World War II.
"To be a Frenchman means to fight for your country and its wine." –Claude Terrail, owner, Restaurant La Tour d’Argent
In 1940, France fell to the Nazis and almost immediately the German army began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French hold most dear: their wine. Like others in the French Resistance, winemakers mobilized to oppose their occupiers, but the tale of their extraordinary efforts has remained largely unknown–until now. This is the thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious, daring measures to save their cherished crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them. Wine and War illuminates a compelling, little-known chapter of history, and stands as a tribute to extraordinary individuals who waged a battle that, in a very real way, saved the spirit of France.

fuel shots and restorative nutrient-dense juices to replenish your
system in the evening, Pure will help you integrate vegetable
juicing into your daily routine. The recipes are based on the
principle that the greatest proportion of the juice will always be
made from raw vegetables with just a small amount of fruit, herbs
and spices added for flavour, which makes these juices the most
potent, concentrated and nutrient rich source in your daily diet.
The juices, smoothies, milks, butters and even snacks (made from
the pulp leftover from the juice) will improve your health and
flood your system with the minerals, vitamins and energy that it
needs throughout the day. The juicing revolution is starting and
these are the cleanest, purest and healthiest juices you can have.

An inside look at how craft beer makers and IPA devotees come
together to brew, taste, and enjoy fine ale while also building a
sense of community in Las Vegas Equally reviled and revered as Sin
City, Las Vegas is both exceptional and emblematic of contemporary
American cultural practices and tastes. Michael Ian Borer takes us
inside the burgeoning Las Vegas craft beer scene to witness how its
adherents use beer to create and foster not just a local culture
but a locals' culture. Through compelling, detailed first-hand
accounts and interviews, Vegas Brews provides an unprecedented look
into the ways that brewers, distributors, bartenders, and drinkers
fight against the perceived and preconceived norm about what
"happens in Vegas" and lay claim to a part of their city that is
too often overshadowed by the bright lights of tourist sites. Borer
shows how our interactions with the things we care about-and the
ways that we care about how they're made, treated, and consumed-can
lead to new senses of belonging and connections with and to others
and the places where we live. In a world where people and things
move around at an extraordinary pace, the folks Borer spent time
talking (and drinking) with remind us to slow down and learn how to
taste the "good life," or at least a semblance of it, even in a
city where style is often valued over substance.

Following on the success of her books on Brunello di Montalcino,
renowned author and wine critic Kerin O'Keefe takes readers on a
historic and in-depth journey to discover Barolo and Barbaresco,
two of Italy's most fascinating and storied wines. In this
groundbreaking new book, O'Keefe gives a comprehensive overview of
the stunning side-by-side growing areas of these two world-class
wines that are separated only by the city of Alba and profiles a
number of the fiercely individualistic winemakers who create
structured yet elegant and complex wines of remarkable depth from
Italy's most noble grape, Nebbiolo. A masterful narrator of the
aristocratic origins of winemaking in this region, O'Keefe gives
readers a clear picture of why Barolo is called both the King of
Wines and the Wine of Kings. Profiles of key Barolo and Barbaresco
villages include fascinating stories of the families, wine
producers, and idiosyncratic personalities that have shaped the
area and its wines and helped ignite the Quality Wine Revolution
that eventually swept through all of Italy. The book also considers
practical factors impacting winemaking in this region, including
climate change, destructive use of harsh chemicals in the vineyards
versus the gentler treatments used for centuries, the various
schools of thought regarding vinification and aging, and expansion
and zoning of vineyard areas. Readers will also appreciate a
helpful vintage guide to Barolo and Barbaresco and a glossary of
useful Italian wine terms.
