A field guide to the new world of wine, featuring an overview of
today's most exciting regions and easy-to-use advice on properly
tasting wine, discovering under-the-radar gems, and finding the
perfect bottle for any occasion. Highlighting wines from old world
regions such as France, Italy, Spain, and Germany to new world
wines from the United States, Australia, New Zealand, Chile, and
more, The Essential Wine Book tells you what to drink and why.
Beginning with foundational information about how wine is made, how
to taste it, and how to understand terroir, wine expert and
journalist Zachary Sussman then gives an overview of the most
important and interesting wine regions today-both established and
still emerging. For instance, the great French wines of Burgundy
and Champagne are already well known, but for affordable bottles
you can easily find at your local wine shop, Sussman profiles
up-and-coming producers in other regions, including the Jura,
Languedoc-Roussillon, and more. In a similar vein, California's
Napa Valley has for decades been the source of America's most
prestigious wines, but here you'll learn about other areas of the
state that are gaining recognition, from Lodi to the Santa Rita
Hills. You'll find user-friendly "just the highlights" notes for
each region, as well as recommendations for producers and
particular bottles to seek out. Diving deep into what makes each
region essential and unique, this comprehensive guides gives new
wine drinkers and enthusiasts alike an inside track on modern wine
culture.
