This compact book will guide you, grape by grape, through more than 200 grape varieties and wine styles, complete with tasting descriptors and food matches.
With 100s -- make that 1000s -- of different winegrapes currently available on store shelves, it's impossible for the average wine buyer to make sense of it all. There are the standards: Cabernet, Chardonnay, Shiraz, etc. But what if you want a change? What if you want to discover more of the fabulous variety of wines that have satisified palates for more than two millenia?
My Winegrape Primer is conveniently pocket-sized and covers nearly 300 grapes and wine styles. Each entry includes a short profile of the grape, its history, its sensory characteristics, plus food matching suggestions. The Primer also includes extensive cross-references plus a simplified guide to Old World wine regions.
My book is a collection of dialogues with award-winning chefs from various backgrounds and cultures, sharing their personal experiences of where and why food culture is where it is today.
