{"product_id":"2940170138692","title":"The Dirty Guide to Wine: Following Flavor from Ground to Glass","description":"Still drinking Cabernet after that one bottle you liked five years ago? It can be overwhelming if not intimidating to branch out from your go-to grape, but everyone wants their next wine to be new and exciting. How to choose the right one? Award-winning wine critic Alice Feiring presents an all-new way to look at the world of wine. While grape variety is important, a lot can be learned about wine by looking at the source: the ground in which it grows. A surprising amount of information about a wine's flavor and composition can be gleaned from a region's soil, and this guide makes it simple to find the wines you'll love.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeaturing a foreword by Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier, who contributed her vast knowledge throughout the book, \u003ci\u003eThe Dirty Guide to Wine\u003c\/i\u003e organizes wines not by grape, not by region, not by New or Old World, but by soil. If you enjoy a Chardonnay from Burgundy, you might find the same winning qualities in a deep, red Rioja. Feiring also provides a clarifying account of the traditions and techniques of wine-tasting, demystifying the practice and introducing a whole new way to enjoy wine to sommeliers and novice drinkers alike.","brand":"Tantor Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47160757321968,"sku":"2940170138692","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170138692_p0.jpg?v=1763702951","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170138692","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
