Book Synopsis The French Wine Lover's Bible by : Michael O'Reilly
Download or read book The French Wine Lover's Bible written by Michael O'Reilly and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-30 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diffident to express your wine tasting vocabulary other than 'Yuk!' or 'Yum!'? Read on. Beginning Wine Lovers need to know French wine because it is the quality standard against which all other wines are measured. In THE FRENCH WINE LOVER'S BIBLE, you will learn basic knowledge such as that White Burgundy can only be made with Chardonnay. And Red Burgundy is made 100% with Pinot Noir. By law!That the difference between Grand Cru Classé Bordeaux and the neighboring communes of Pomerol and St. Emilion is weather and the varietals planted in the vineyards. It's cooler in inland Pomerol/St. Emilion and warmer where Bordeaux reaches into the Atlantic and is warmed by the Gulf Stream and the North Atlantic Drift. You may forever remember that St. Emilion/Pomerol glory in early ripening varietals such as Cabernet Franc and Merlot while their warmer neighbors-Pauillac, Ste. Estephe, St.-Julien and Margaux--can ripen Cabernet Sauvignon of fantastic quality (when Bordeaux has a fantastic vintage which only happens 3 years out of 10).The reader will learn of the Sauvignon Blanc wines grown on both sides of the Loire River. And too learn of the fantastic Syrah grape grown in the northern reaches of the Rhone Valley south of Burgundy and expressed regally in the Côte-Rôtie, Hermitage, St. Joseph and Cornas. The new wine lover will learn too of the white wines of Macon just south of the Côte d'Or, that river of those Chardonnays known already too many newbies as St. Veran and Pouilly-Fuissé. And of Champagne, Chablis, Alsace and the Loire River valley with its Sauvignon Blancs and Muscadet. And the picnic wines of Beaujolais. And finally learn of Provence Rosé and Languedoc/Rousillon the great source of bulk wine destined to become cheap supermarket wine.The French were the first---and justifiably so-to proclaim their wines the greatest. The image took. And this quality image continues to shine brightly-and deservedly--outward from the legendary and historic vineyards of France. Competition from Italy, Spain and the New World is fierce when it comes to quality wines, but French wine remains the standard of comparison.Allons, mes amis!

Book Synopsis The Search for Good Wine by : John Hailman
Download or read book The Search for Good Wine written by John Hailman and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2014-10-08 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Search for Good Wine is a highly entertaining and informative book on all aspects of wine and its consumption by nationally-syndicated wine columnist John Hailman, author of the critically-acclaimed Thomas Jefferson on Wine (2006). Hailman explores the wine-drinking experiences and tastes of famous wine-lovers from jolly Ben Franklin and the surprisingly enthusiastic George Washington to Julius Caesar, Sherlock Holmes, and Ernest Hemingway among numerous other famous figures. Hailman also recounts in fascinating detail the exotic life of the founder of the California wine industry, Hungarian Agoston Haraszthy, who introduced Zinfandel to the U.S. Hailman gives calm and reliable guidance on how to deal with snobby wine waiters and how to choose the best wine books and travel guides. He simplifies the ABCs of wine-grape types from the delicate pinot noirs of Oregon to the robust malbecs of Argentina and from the vibrant new whites of Spain to the great reds (old and new) of Italy. The entire book is dedicated to finding values in wine. As Hailman says, "Everyone always wants to know one basic thing: How can you get the best possible wine for the lowest possible price?" His new book is highly practical and effective in answering that eternal question and many more about wine. A judge at the top international wine competitions for over thirty years, Hailman examines those experiences and the value of "blind" tastings. He gives insightful tips on how to select a good wine store, how to decipher wine labels and wine lists, and even how to extract unruly champagne corks without crippling yourself or others. Hailman simplifies wine jargon and effectively demystifies the culture of wine fascination, restoring the consumption of wine to the natural pleasure it really should be.

Book Synopsis Love by the Glass by : Dorothy J. Gaiter
Download or read book Love by the Glass written by Dorothy J. Gaiter and published by Villard. This book was released on 2011-11-02 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “I am deeply inspired by this heartwarming story of how two people found love and—even better—a way to get paid for drinking wine.” —Dave Barry Internationally renowned journalists Dorothy J. Gaiter and John Brecher present a captivating memoir about falling in love with each other and with wine. She grew up in the all-black environment of Florida A&M University in Tallahassee. He was raised in Jacksonville, Florida, where his was one of a handful of Jewish families. When they met on June 4, 1973, in the newsroom of The Miami Herald, she says, “I felt in my bones like I had known him forever.” And he says, “I felt the instant I saw her that we had always been together, and knew we always would be.” That passion for each other and for wine has made their column a must-read for millions of neophyte and veteran wine lovers, who also follow their appearances on Martha Stewart’s TV show. The annual global celebration of wine that they created, “Open That Bottle Night,” encourages readers to finally drink that special wine they have been keeping. As Dottie and John write, “Wine can conjure up memories in a way that few other things can,” whether it’s a rare Burgundy or a bottle of cold duck. Frank J. Prial of The New York Times said of their first book, The Wall Street Journal Guide to Wine, “Their enthusiasm for the grape . . . is exceeded only by their enthusiasm for each other. It spills over on every other page.” Indeed, John and Dottie say they don’t write a wine column; they write a column about more important things. This book follows them from love at first sight, through a life of journalism, to a triumph on the basketball court at Madison Square Garden. You’ll discover the joys of wine along with them, but you’ll also discover that wine is really about good times, bad times, moments shared with loved ones, and new friends. It’s about memories. It’s about life.

Book Synopsis The California Wine Lover's Bible by : Michael Aloysius O'reilly
Download or read book The California Wine Lover's Bible written by Michael Aloysius O'reilly and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You! Wine lover! Trying to find the words to express what you are tasting beyond 'yuk' or 'yum'? Endeavoring to discover from whence comes the great pleasures of Sonoma Chardonnay clearly challenging the great White Burgundies? And that Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is pushing to the margins the classified growths of Bordeaux, long the acknowledged greatest of the world's red wines? THE CALIFORNIA WINE LOVE'S BIBLE aims to bring you into the vineyards and microclimates, the barrel rooms and the families of the winery heroes who have been responsible for what has happened to wine in California. Clearly the United States has made contributions to the world. A meritocratic society leading the world in personal liberties? Yes? And the country that contributed aid and flesh during World Wars I and II? Of course. Our theater and literature are without doubt treasured throughout the world. Our best movies compete with the world's best. Our music and black jazz are ubiquitous. Our painters have changed perception as to what a post-modern consciousness is. However the image of California has been limited to Hollywood blockbusters of gore and grandiosity, bimbo blonds, the Golden Gate Bridge and surfboards. Many Europeans, especially the French, have long sneered at California culture and long thought that the natives of the Golden State spent their days swinging from branches while eating unripe bananas. Baseless slurs by ignoramuses? Not so fast. We are known by what we do. Our actions are our character. And California as the home to good but cheap jug wine had told the rest of the United States at least that its wine production was summarized by healthy grapes grown in volume in an industrial cultivation. That's not exactly a statement of a great wine growing region's cultural contribution to humanity.
