They discuss familiar and unfamiliar grape varietals, local terroirs, and the vagaries of Mother Nature—as well as how new technologies are revolutionizing historic winemaking practices. Complete with personal recipes, maps of winemaking regions, and an aroma wheel capturing the vast array of wine's complex flavors and aromas, The Winemaker’s Hand is a globe-hopping tour through the world of wine.

Book The Wine Snob s Dictionary

Download or read book The Wine Snob s Dictionary written by David Kamp and published by Clarkson Potter. This book was released on 2008-10-14 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A nicely structured, lightly acidic addition to the handy Snob’s Dictionary series, decoding the baffling world of winespeak from A to Z. Wine Snob. The very phrase seems redundant, doesn't it? When faced with this snobbiest of snobberies, the civilian wine enthusiast needs the help of savvy translators like David Kamp and David Lynch. Their Wine Snob’s Dictionary delivers witty explication of both old-school oeno-obsessions (What's claret? Who's Michael Broadbent?) and such new-wave terms as "malolactic fermentation" and "fruit bomb." Among the other things Kamp and Lynch demystify: Finish: the Snob code-term for "aftertaste." (Robert Parker includes the stopwatch-measured length of a wine's finish in his ratings.) Meritage: an American wine classification that rhymes with "heritage," and should NEVER be pronounced "meri-TAHJ." Terroir: that elusive quality of vineyard soil that has sommeliers talking of "gunflint," "leather," and "candied fruits" Featuring ripe, luscious, full-bodied illustrations by Snob's Dictionary stalwart Ross MacDonald, The Wine Snob’s Dictionary is as heady and sparkling as a vintage Taittinger, only much less expensive... and much more giggle-inducing. Cheers!

Book Vine Lines

    Book Details:
  • Author : Judy Valon
  • Publisher : Wine Appreciation Guild
  • Release : 2007-04
  • ISBN : 9781891267932
  • Pages : 0 pages

Download or read book Vine Lines written by Judy Valon and published by Wine Appreciation Guild. This book was released on 2007-04 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cigar box. Bacon character. Fleshy overtones. Extracted palate. Barnyard. That wine could have such associations might cause the uninitiated to reagrd wine verbiage as "barnyard" in its own right. Though these idioms do have a practical value to the professional wine taster, the stereotype (serious, bow-tied old men making bizarre characterizations inbetween gurgles) doesn't nedd much comedic assistance, similar to that of the secret handshakes of Masons. Illustrated by well known Australian cartoonist Roger Roberts, this charming little book explores this curious realm of wine terminology by creating a visual lexicon on the "far side" of a wine world where its language ("barnyard," "exotic nose") is taken literally. Sometimes brash, sometimes cute, Robert's work is always good for a chuckle. In between Robert's visual puns, professional wine taster Judy Valon gives a serious and solid primer on enjoying red, white, sparkling and fortified wines, how to identify wine faults, proper entertaining and serving procedures, and , of course the functioning definitions of common tasting terms. The book is also loaded with dekighful classic and obscure wine aphorisms, such as: "Wine is the proof that God loves us, and loves to see us happy". --Benjamin Franklin "My only regret in life is thart I did not drink more Champagne." -- John Maynard Keynes
