Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-soaked Journey from Grape to Glass

Red, White and Drunk All Over: A Wine-soaked Journey from Grape to Glass

by NatalieMaclean (Author)

Synopsis

Natalie MacLean spent three years sipping her way through sun-drenched vineyards and cobwebbed cellars to bring us this witty, knowledgeable book about the world of wine. In the ancient vineyards of Burgundy, she uncovers the secrets of Pinot Noir, then moves on to the labyrinthine cellars of Champagne to examine the mystique of luxury bubbly. She compares notes with novelist Jay McInerney at a bacchanalian dinner, goes undercover as a sommelier in a five-star restaurant, and explores the influence of powerful critics Jancis Robinson and Robert Parker. You may have a head for wine, but "Red, White and Drunk All Over" will show you its heart.
