Description

Adventures with Old Vines offers an engaging and knowledgeable guide to demystify wine for novice enthusiasts.

Richard Chilton provides detailed information about buying and storing wine, how to read a wine list, the role of the sommelier, wine fraud, how wine is really made, and how weather patterns can influence the quality of a vintage.

A vineyard owner and lifelong wine lover, the author encourages readers to discover wine by tasting, taking notes, and tasting again.

The book also includes a richly illustrated, full-color reference section on a select group of vineyards from all over the world, describing their history, winemaking philosophy, terroir, and top vintages-what Chilton calls benchmark wines.

The characteristics of these memorable wines provide the essential starting point to understand what to look for when evaluating any wine.

Equipped with this easy-to-read reference, readers will have all the tools they need to begin their own wine journey.
