about the book
From the author of The Wine Bible, this lively, authoritative calendar is packed with stellar recommendations plus tips, advice, history, and lore. Try Saintsbury's classic, exquisitely balanced "Toyon Farm" Pinot Noir. De Loach's smoky, intense "OFS" sauvignon blanc. Splurge on Burge: Grant Burge's "The Holy Trinity," boasting hints of eucalyptus, rich blackberry, and a dark, earthy finish. Plus Alsace's "SGN" dessert wines, getting to know Argentina's richly textured malbecs, decoding "earthy," and why you should never decant red Burgundy (pouring the wine into the decanter may cause its delicate, complex aromas to collapse).
