His opinionated prose resounds through every chapter.’ The Washington Post ‘best of all, Mr Clarke’s sharp-edged, spicy commentary makes this atlas a joy to read, not just a useful reference too.’ Wall Street Journal Europe ‘Clarke spins word pictures on what makes wine what it is with authority, color and clarity. To read his explanation of what makes each region special is to find yourself smelling the air and feeling the rocks under your feet. It’s the next best thing to being there.’ Wine Spectator ‘Clarke is one of the most out-spoken and entertaining wine writers. His prose is sharp-edged, informative, wonderfully readable and, best of all, completely unpretentious.’ Anthony Dias Blue, Mercury News

Download or read book Grapes & Wines written by Oz Clarke and published by Pavilion. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An exhilarating wine book... No serious wine lover’s library is complete without it” Wine Spectator Grapes & Wines is the key to enjoying modern wine. Approaching wine through grapes is in tune with the way consumers now think and learn about wine. Most wines, especially those from the Americas, Australasia and South Africa, are now sold under the name of the grape variety used rather than under the old European system of chateau and appellation name. You’re standing in a wine shop and see bottles labeled Aglianico or Tannat. Do you know what they are? Garnatxa sounds familiar and it is, as it is the Basque name of the popular Grenache grape, but how do you know this? You’ve heard of Carmenere from Chile, and probably bought the wine, but did you know it is an old historic Bordeaux variety? This is the perfect book to help you find out more about the world’s top classic grapes, from Cabernet Sauvignon to Zinfandel – the history, the places, the people, the wine styles and the flavours are covered in detail. It is also just the book for dipping into as you come across an unfamiliar grape variety. Grapes & Wines has been thoroughly revised and updated.
