The Wild Bunch: Great Wines from Small P by Patrick Matthews
Any number of guides offer to make wine a pleasant, predictable and unthreatening experience for the average British drinker. This is not one of them. Instead The Wild Bunch ventures beyond the clean, fruity and let's face it - bland bottles which cram today's supermarket shelves to introduce a whole spectrum of unexpected flavours.In this provocative survey of what he calls 'the unreported wine revolution' Patrick Matthews encounters a new wave of growers and producers who are taking wine back to its regional roots. They are opinionated, perfectionist and unpredictable - obsessed with authenticity and purity rather than high technology and marketing. And as they are at work all over the wine world, not just in the top-notch regions, they can provide startlingly good value. At a time when drinkers are defying marketing wisdom with their enthusiasm for diversity and regional character, this is an entertaining and necessary guide to wines which have something to say - wines with a story to tell.| SKU | Unavailable |
