Download or read book The new vignerons written by Luis Gutiérrez and published by Planeta Gastro. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I traveled over the course of almost two years with photographer Estanis Núñez, an old friend of mine, just like we used to in our rock'n'roll days, taking photos, eating and drinking together. This book contains 14 profiles of vignerons, each of them different, spanning most of the wine-producing regions of Spain. There are others, but this is my personal selection. Their profiles talk about the history, landscape, vineyards, cuisine, passion and tradition of their region. You won't find tannins, anthocyanins, vintages, points or tasting notes here. I am hardly going to talk about wine at all. But you will find the often-forgotten human side and the context of what is in the bottle, including local cuisine (where wine plays an important role) as well as each winegrower's personal take on it. . Their main aim in life is to portray the uniqueness of their vineyards, villages and landscapes through a bottle of wine. Wine that can transport you back to the time and place it was produced the moment you drink it. These are the new vignerons. A new generation of Spanish winegrowers."

"Prowling through the bodegas, tapas bars, and markets of Spain with Gerry Dawes is an educational experience, sure, but more than that it''s an inside look at one of the world''s great gastronomic cultures, and more than that, it''s just a whole lot of fun. Gerry knows almost anyone you''d want to know in this delicious world, and those he doesn''t know, once he meets them, aren''t strangers for long. Sunset in a Glass will give you a tantalizing taste of the experience."--Colman Andrews, author of Catalan Cuisine, co-founder of Saveur. "Spain wouldn''t be as known to Americans without the stories Gerry tells and writes."--Chef Ferran Adrià, elBulli.
