Synopsis

This guide takes the reader on a grand tour of the wines of the world, as the authors visit vineyards and interview the vintners about everything from growing strategies, quality control methods and marketing plans, to the importance of the weather in grape growing. Coverage is provided in the following areas: wine and health - examining the extensive analysis about wine consumption in conjunction with robust health; wine and food - supplying a systematic approach to pairing food and wine with Power to Power charts ; wine service - giving advice on how to serve wine without sounding like a wine "snob"; wine production; and wine purchase and storage. The text explores wines country-by-country, and also examines attitudes toward wine, consumption, production, influence and laws. There are chapters on wine management, wine list development and wine marketing.

Quatrième de couverture

"Chapters on Wine Lists, Purchasing and Storage, and Wine Service go a long way to addressing the needs and questions of service professionals and wine customers alike. There is no other book that simultaneously serves both the public and the profession Exploring Wine makes that leap with grace and style." Marvin R. Shanken Editor and Publisher, Wine Spectator, New York, New York "Exploring Wine is a stunning volume, the book is distinctive for its comprehensive analysis of the subject matter, the voluminous amount of insightful information and its organizational structure." Robin Insley Communications Director, Oldways Preservation & Exchange Trust, Boston, Massachusetts "Exploring Wine is ideal reading for all professionals who do not work in wine production but must understand its sommeliers, waitstaff, and retailers." Aldo Vacca Export Manager, Produttori Del Barbaresco, Barbaresco, Italy "Exploring Wine is an excellent reference work for any level of appreciation or business." Bob Betz Vice President, Enology Research and Education, Stimson Lane Vineyards & Estates/Château Ste. Michelle, Seattle, Washington "The chapters on Wine and Food and Wine and Health!!! Everyone wants to know more about these two subjects. Exploring Wine wins handily over any other in its intense treatment of these topics." Sharron McCarthy President, McCarthy Associates, New York, New York "Today’s consumer spends a great deal of time entertaining in restaurants for business or pleasure.
