Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I am writing these few lines when 2014 is coming to an end. After several years of hard work, and the pleasure of trying many Rioja wines, this project is coming to an end. I wanted to do something different, something that would help wine lovers to know more about the Rioja wines, but especially about the wineries, because although the soil and terroir are crucial for good wine, it is equally important the people behind; some wineries belong to huge groups focus on profit, while many are small and medium size wineries which are run by families generation after generation. It is also important to see the countryside, many of you, my lovely readers, may never be able to visit the beautiful landscapes od Rioja, but I bringing you lots of pictures to give you an idea. In this book I have covered: -All the Rioja DOCa registered wineries, which are almost 600. -History about Rioja and the wine. -Rioja with the different production sub areas, climate and weather. -The different grape varieties you can find in Rioja -The official classification of the wines, and what do they mean to you. -Wine making and styles. -The vintage classification -My favourite Rioja wines (just a few). -Over 450 photographs. With the exception of my favourite wines by price at the end of the book, I have covered no other wines, why? I wanted this book to be educational while fun, and rather than providing a list of wine reviews (there are already many books covering this), I wanted to share with you information about Rioja, its wines, its people and their passion, generation after generation, to make some unique wines. I have thoroughly visited Rioja and many of the wineries, but not all. I have interview winemakers, family members, etc and I have tried to reflect with their own words, what is their winery and wines about. As a result you will find in several winery descriptions, that they consider their area to be exceptional, and it is for them, so I have respected their views, mostly because they tend to be right: It does not matter how many wineries I visit I have always been treated fantastically, by kind generous people, another characteristic of Rioja. I wanted to finish this introduction by thanking again to all those wineries, that even though being very busy (some of them even liaised with me during harvest time), they found the time to speak to me, send me information, send me photographs, and sometimes, share a few glasses of wine together.

Book excerpt: As a young child in Naples, Italy, Sergio Esposito sat at his kitchen table observing the daily ritual of his large, loud family bonding over fresh local dishes and simple country wines. While devouring the rich bufala mozzarella, still sopping with milk and salt, and the platters of fresh prosciutto, sliced so thin he could see through it, he absorbed the profound relationship of food, wine, and family in Italian culture. Growing up in Albany, New York, after emigrating there with his family, he always sat next to his uncle Aldo and sipped from his wineglass during their customary hours-long extended family feasts. Thus, from a very early age, Esposito came to associate wine with the warmth of family, the tastes of his mother’s cooking—and, above all, memories of his former life in Italy. When he was in his twenties, he headed for New York and undertook a career in wine, beginning a journey that would culminate in his founding of Italian Wine Merchants, now the leading Italian wine source in America. His career offered him the opportunity to make frequent trips back to Italy to find wine for his clients, to learn the traditions of Italian winemaking, and, in so doing, to rediscover the Italian way of life he’d left behind. Passion on the Vine is Esposito’s intimate and evocative memoir of his colorful family life in Italy, his abrupt transition to life in America, and of his travels into the heart of Italy—its wine country—and the lives of those who inhabit it. The result is a remarkably engaging and entertaining wine/travel narrative replete with vivid portraits of seductive places—the world-famous cellars of Piedmont, the sweeping estates of Tuscany, the lush fields of Campania, the chilly hills of Friuli, the windy beaches of Le Marche; and of memorable people, diverse and vibrant wine artisans—from a disco-dancing vintner who bases his farming on the rhythm of the moon to an obsessive prince who destroys his vineyards before his death so that his grapes will never be used incorrectly. Esposito’s luscious accounts of the wonderful food and wine that are so much a part of Italian life, and his poignant and often hilarious stories of his relationships with his family and Italian friends, make Passion on the Vine an utterly unique and enchanting work about Italy and its eternally seductive lifestyle.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I want my wines to tell a good story. I want them natural and most of all, like my dear friends, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue," says Alice Feiring. Join her as she sets off on her one-woman crusade against the tyranny of homogenization, wine consultants, and, of course, the 100-point scoring system of a certain all-powerful wine writer. Traveling through the ancient vineyards of the Loire and Champagne, to Piedmont and Spain, she goes in search of authentic barolo, the last old-style rioja, and the tastiest new terroir-driven champagnes. She reveals just what goes into the average bottle--the reverse osmosis, the yeasts and enzymes, the sawdust and oak chips--and why she doesn't find much to drink in California. And she introduces rebel winemakers who are embracing old-fashioned techniques and making wines with individuality and soul. No matter what your palate, travel the wine world with Feiring and you'll have to ask yourself: What do i really want in my glass?

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."

With her personal story interwoven, readers will be inspired to embrace the healthy power of food.
