"Noble Rot manages to unravel the mysteries of wine with insight
and humour. A wonderful - and essential - read for anyone
interested in the world of wine, or even for those, like me, who
just drink it." Nigella Lawson "The Noble Rot guys have the ability
to describe wines as if they're either future friends, or
rock-stars coming to blow your mind." Caitlin Moran "Noble Rot has
brought originality, humour and now space travel to the very
serious business of drinking wine. About time too." Brian Eno "Dan
and Mark do that thing that only crazy knowledgeable enthusiasts
can do, they make you a crazy enthusiast too. If they said, 'We've
found a wine like no other, a wine that actually lights up the sky,
but you can only drink it in the desert at midnight, are you
coming?' I'd be off, and I'd be confident of meteor showers. They
provoke curiosity - 'how does anyone make this extraordinary drink
just with grapes?' - excitement, joy, and a longing for knowledge.
Now, in this book, they're sharing the knowledge." Diana Henry "To
really know and love a wine one should know the grower and the
vineyard. This isn't always or even often possible, which is why
the Rotters introduce these wines at source. You learn that making
wine, as cooking should be, is an act of love. You will come to
love this book too." Rowley Leigh Choosing wine in a restaurant or
shop can seem an unfathomable business. But, according to Dan
Keeling and Mark Andrew, the duo behind London's Noble Rot, it
needn't be that way. In Wine from Another Galaxy they'll help you
to understand how it is made, where to buy it, what to look for
when you drink it, and how to talk about it. And once you've
mastered the basics, they'll take you on a journey through the best
of European wine culture, meeting the people and places behind
their favourite bottles. Indeed, Dan and Mark have spent years
visiting growers that you probably haven't heard of, from the
original thinkers of the natural wine movement to the iconic
estates of Burgundy and Bordeaux. This is the alternative,
accessible, no-holds-barred guide to wine, where the usual cliches
and rules don't apply.
