A Vineyard in My Glass by Gerald Asher
Presents a collection of essays that provide insight into why a wine should always be an expression of a place and a time. Guiding the reader through twenty-seven diverse wine regions in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and California, this title shows how every wine worth drinking is a reflection of its terroir.
"A chance to revisit the beauty of wine writing in pure form" San Francisco Chronicle "Amid a flood of mediocre, silly and pretentious wine writers, Asher stands out as a true craftsman and gentleman journalist who knows wine and can tell a story with wit and insight." -- Sasha Paulsen Napa Valley Register "Compelling... A thoughtful, provocative journey." -- Mary Gorman-McAdams The Kitchn "A fascinating read." -- Bob Walch Watsonville Register-Pajaronian "A terrific introduction to one of the greatest wine writers of our times... Complexity [that's] easy to savor." -- Lara Douglass Wine & Spirits Magazine
