It’s a good read! Very narrative-driven, and tells an interesting tale. I would like to read a more academic version of the story at some point though - it’s very much framed as French Wine vs. Fascism, and it definitely set off my There Is Probably Uncomfortable Complexity Here™ sensors.
My book, The Caramel Vineyard, could be of interest to your readers. It's about what happens when gold is found among the vines...https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/234221462-the-caramel-vineyard
If you want to read about my winemaking experience, which inspired the book, this might also be of interest: https://axelgeorg.substack.com/p/reluctant-winemaker-no-more
Nice. Thanks for sharing. 📚🍷
Along with Kermit Lynch's Adventures on the Wine Route, one of my favorite wine books is John Livingstone-Learmonth's Wines of the Northern Rhône.
Nice! I have that one, too. It's an excellent reference, although my edition is twenty years old now.
Time flies! There's only one edition.
Windows on the World by Kevin Zraly and Wine Drinking for Inspired Thinking (love this one).
Oooh! I don't know that latter one. Thanks!
Check. Check. Check. To all of the above.
Nice. 📚
Wine Grapes is my go to wine book.
Terry’s other book, “What Makes a Wine Worth Drinking” is also excellent. It’s been an inspiration for writing tasting notes on my own wine journey.
Indeed! I enjoyed that one, too. (Terry is a friend, full disclosure.)
Beyond educational/resource texts, I do still enjoy going back to Wine & War on occasion.
I'm embarrassed to say I've never read it, although it sits on my bookshelf and my husband has raved about it. Someday!
