À propos de cet audio

A one-of-a-kind exploration of the relationship between culture, politics, history, and wine.

Vintage refers to the year grapes are harvested, and that vintage holds meaning. You can look up the weather in any almanac, but some stories are known only to insiders—until now. In this wine book Grant Reynolds, award-winning sommelier, deciphers these signatures to reveal the impact of marketing and mentorship, technology and trends, and influencers old and new. Beginning in the late eighteenth century with a tale about Thomas Jefferson's secret White House stash and spanning over a quarter of a millennium to social media's effect on chenin blanc's popularity, The Wine List explores both the chemistry and sociology that have made vintages taste a certain way, fetch a certain price, or go extinct altogether.

A must-listen for fans of wine books like Wine Folly or The World Atlas of Wine, The Wine List is a fresh new wine bible perfect for anyone looking for bar cart books or gifts for wine lovers.

Ce que les critiques en disent

"There is a lot you can learn from Grant's “The Wine List” about the history of wine in Europe and how things like climate change, war, wine ratings, and customer preferences changed wine over time. Cin cin."—My Wine Pal

I'm searching for wine books about more than vineyard sites, grape varietals, or how wine is made. I hoped this would offer a little more substance or romance but it really is as the title suggests, a list of some great wines that you will almost certainly never get to drink, with some truly baffling mispronunciations along the way.
