Award-winning writer Natalie MacLean takes readers behind the scenes of the international wine world, exploring its history, visiting its most evocative places, and meeting some of its most charismatic personalities. She travels from the ancient vineyards of Burgundy and uncovers the secrets of the pinot noir, to the labyrinthine cellars of Champagne to examine the myths and mystique of luxury bubbly. And along the way, she looks at the influence of powerful critics, notably Robert Parker and Jancis Robinson, invites readers into her home for an informal wine tasting, and compares notes at a bacchanalian dinner with novelist Jay McInerney. Following in the great food- and wine-writing tradition of MFK Fisher, Peter Mayle and Anthony Bourdain, Natalie MacLean leads an informative, amusing and fascinating tour that will drive readers to drink. And think. And laugh.
