Description - The Concise Guide to Wine and Blind Tasting, second edition by Neel Burton
This book is for all those seeking to acquire a deep and
systematic appreciation and understanding of wine, whether for exams, work, or
pleasure. It outlines a simple yet robust framework for analyzing wine as objectively
as possible, and provides all the background knowledge that you need to
interpret your findings, covering everything from grape varieties and vineyard
management to winemaking techniques and the world’s most important wine styles.
It seeks throughout to examine in what ways a particular wine is unique and
different from other, similar wines. For example, why and in what ways is
Pauillac, in Bordeaux, different from Pomerol, also in Bordeaux? Why and in
what ways is Mosel Riesling different from Riesling from the Rheingau, or the
Nahe, or Alsace, Austria, or Australia? This book is dedicated to all wine
lovers, and should prove particularly useful to amateur and competitive blind
tasters, students on higher-level wine courses, sommeliers, and anyone else who
buys, sells, or recommends wine.
