The Dirty Guide to Wine

Hey all,


Thinking about books about wine I have enjoyed recently and this one popped to the top of my head.

https://www.worldofbooks.com/de-de/products/dirty-guide-to-wine-buch-alice-feiring-9781581573848?sku=GOR008600796&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlsy5BhDeARIsABRc6Zv0fj776unTexKcLiKsHL_bxw25ogt3pspVoO2OwwrFu-W8ueHCdHcaAkS4EALw_wcB

It's called "The Dirty Guide to Wine" and was written by Alice Feiring with support from famed sommelière Pascaline Lepeltier. It's a nice account of various famous wine regions but the approach - grouping regions together based on soil rather than geography or grapes - is super novel and rather interesting. I also though the author did a good job at explaining fundamental concepts and outlining how the natural wine movement has put back soil at the center, without being too dogmatic about what constitutes "good" soil practices.

It's also quite an easy read, definitely something I would recommend at level 2 or 3 already.

Anyone else read it before? Do you have other good books about viticulture to recommend?
