Book description
Food & Wine editor Ray Isle does for wine what Michael Pollan's The Omnivore's Dilemma did for food--showing readers how to choose more delicious, interesting, and environmentally friendly wines without breaking the bank. So much of today's wine is mass-produced, industrially farmed, corporate-owned, and essentially, ordinary. In The World in a Wineglass, veteran wine writer Ray Isle explains that the way a wine is made, and who made it, can make a huge difference when you drink it--and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Or that it tastes like blueberries. Or "hints of violets and black pepper." Drawing on his deep knowledge and genuine appreciation of winemaking, Isle takes us on a tour of several hundred independently owned wineries around the world--everywhere from France's Burgundy to Oregon's Willamette Valley to the Itata Valley in the southern reaches of Chile--bringing the local vintners to life and describing the different wines they produce in vivid detail. Isle's enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford, rather than $500 rarities, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today. Whether you prefer a hearty cabernet, a crisp chardonnay, or something more off the beaten path, Ray Isle's affable, accessible guide to finding unusual or undiscovered varieties offers a window into a whole new fascinating world for wine lovers everywhere.
