Presentation:

Still drinking Cabernet after that bottle you liked five years ago? It can be intimidating to walk away from your grape of choice, but everyone wants their next wine to be new and exciting. How do you choose the right one? Award-winning wine author Alice Feiring says that while the grape variety is important, you can learn a lot about wine by looking at its source: the soil it grows in.

The Dirty Guide to Wine organizes wines not by grape, not by region, not by New or Old World, but by bedrock. Feiring provides a clear account of the traditions and techniques of wine tasting, demystifying the practice and introducing a whole new way of enjoying wine to sommeliers and novice drinkers alike.
