Young, fresh, and a little bit whimsical, rose is more than just a
wine -- it's shorthand for an entire lifestyle. And nothing
embodies the lighthearted joy of "drinking pink" more than Yes Way
Rose, the brand whose tagline "everything's coming up rose,"
encapsulates the effervescent joy of this popular wine. Equal parts
informative and celebratory, Yes Way Roseis both a wine primer and
a source of lifestyle inspiration. Readers will learn the ins and
outs of rose production, as well as the major wine-making regions,
before diving into food pairings, rose cocktails, and even
rose-inspired astrology. From Rose 101, tasting notes, and recipes,
to tips on maintaining "rose vibes" and throwing an incredible
soiree, Erica Blumenthal and Nikki Huganir translate their vibrant,
humorous, and well-informed passion for rose into an irresistible
gift book. Overflowing with full-color photographs and cheeky
illustrations, Yes Way Rose is the perfect read for anyone who has
ever fallen under the alluring spell of pink wine.
Inspired by a deep passion for wine, an Italian heritage, and a
desire for a land somewhat wilder than his home in southern France,
Robert V. Camuto set out to explore Sicily's emerging wine scene.
What he discovered during more than a year of traveling the region,
however, was far more than a fascinating wine frontier. Chronicling
his journey through Palermo to Marsala, and across the rugged
interior of Sicily to the heights of Mount Etna, Camuto captures
the personalities and flavors and the traditions and natural riches
that have made Italy's largest and oldest wine region the world
traveler's newest discovery. In the island's vastly different wines
he finds an expression of humanity and nature-and the space where
the two merge into something more. Here, amid the wild landscapes,
lavish markets, dramatic religious rituals, deliciously contrasting
flavors, and astonishing natural warmth of its people, Camuto
portrays Sicily at a shining moment in history. He takes readers
into the anti-Mafia movement growing in the former mob vineyards
around infamous Corleone; tells the stories of some of the island's
most prominent landowning families; and introduces us to film and
music celebrities and other foreigners drawn to Sicily's vineyards.
His book takes wine as a powerful metaphor for the independent
identity of this mythic land, which has thrown off its legacies of
violence, corruption, and poverty to emerge, finally free, with its
great soul intact. Watch the Palmento book trailer on YouTube.
During the past eight decades French vineyards, wineries, and
wine marketing efforts have undergone such profound changes--from
technological, scientific, economic, and commercial
standpoints--that the transformation is revolutionary for an
industry dating back thousands of years. Here Leo Loubre examines
how the modernization of Western society has brought about new
conditions in well-established markets, making the introduction of
novel techniques and processes a matter of survival for
winegrowers.
Not only does Loubre explain how altered environmental
conditions have enabled pioneering enologists to create styles of
wine more suited to contemporary tastes and living arrangements,
but he also discusses the social impact of the wine revolution on
the employees in the industry. The third generation of this new
viticultural regime has encountered working and living conditions
drastically different from those of its predecessors, while
witnessing the near disappearance of the working class and the
decline of small and medium growers of ordinary wines.

Based on six years of on-the-ground research and unprecedented access to actual Champagne growers, Champagne is the first book to actually describe producers and wines based on their terroir – enlightening readers by showing them exactly where, how, and by whom these great wines are made.
Champagne is one of the most iconic, sought-after wines in the world, beloved by serious wine collectors as well as everyday wine drinkers. However, it is also one of the most misunderstood wines out there – obscured by a multimillion-pound marketing industry that makes it difficult for consumers to honestly judge value and understand what they’re drinking.
Included in the stunning box set are the Louis Larmat vinicultural maps – the only detailed wine maps of the region, which were commissioned by the French government in the mid-1940s and have never appeared in print in English.
