โTheย Dirty Guide to Wineย organizes wines not by grape, not by region, not by New or Old World, but by bedrock.โ
This is the book for true believers in the concept ofย terroir โย it begins with wines with origins in igneous rock (basalt: the Willamette Valley in Oregon, and granite: the Northern Rhone); sedimentary rock (limestone: Burgundy and gravel: Bordeaux); and metamorphic rock (slate and schist: Languedoc-Roussillon). It includes tasting guides and cheat sheets for each type of rock family, as well as winemaker profiles and suggested wines from each region.
Softcover, 235+ pages.
