Dan Keeling

El vino puede intimidar si no se cuenta con referencias estimulantes. ¿Quién teme a Romanée-Conti? es un compendio de ensayos que incluyen desde claves para dar con un buen vino a precio asequible hasta la cronica de la cata del mas inalcanzable y sagrado de los griales el Romanee-Conti, pasando por una amplia seleccion de ambrosias excepcionales. Dan Keeling nos guia en un viaje apasionante que explora las nuevas escuelas de Borgoña, Barolo y Champagne y se adentra en Tenerife, Corcega y Chianti, y nos presenta a algunos de los viticultores y viñedos mas conocidos del mundo mientras intenta averiguar por que algunos vinos trascienden y tantos otros caen en el olvido. A lo largo del libro, detalla los complejos aspectos de la viticultura tradicional, ofrece reflexiones sobre cuestiones como la adicion de sulfitos en la elaboracion del vino, explica como abastecer nuestra bodega casera y comparte muchas recomendaciones personales sobre que comprar dependiendo del bolsillo de cada uno. Este es un libro sobre el mundo del vino, pero no como lo entendiamos hasta ahora.

Winner of the Guild of Food Writers Drinks Book Award 2021Shortlisted for the André Simon Food and Drink Book Awards 2020"Noble Rot manages to unravel the mysteries of wine with insight and humour. A wonderful - and essential - read for anyone interested in the world of wine, or even for those, like me, who just drink it." Nigella Lawson"The Noble Rot guys have the ability to describe wines as if theyre either future friends, or rock-stars coming to blow your mind." Caitlin Moran"Noble Rot has brought originality, humour and now space travel to the very serious business of drinking wine. About time too." Brian Eno"Dan and Mark do that thing that only crazy knowledgeable enthusiasts can do, they make you a crazy enthusiast too. If they said, Weve found a wine like no other, a wine that actually lights up the sky, but you can only drink it in the desert at midnight, are you coming? Id be off, and Id be confident of meteor showers. They provoke curiosity - how does anyone make this extraordinary drink just with grapes? - excitement, joy, and a longing for knowledge. Now, in this book, theyre sharing the knowledge." Diana Henry"To really know and love a wine one should know the grower and the vineyard. This isnt always or even often possible, which is why the Rotters introduce these wines at source. You learn that making wine, as cooking should be, is an act of love. You will come to love this book too." Rowley LeighChoosing wine in a restaurant or shop can seem an unfathomable business. But, according to Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew, the duo behind Londons Noble Rot, it neednt be that way.In Wine from Another Galaxy theyll help you to understand how it is made, where to buy it, what to look for when you drink it, and how to talk about it. And once youve mastered the basics, theyll take you on a journey through the best of European wine culture, meeting the people and places behind their favourite bottles. Indeed, Dan and Mark have spent years visiting growers that you probably havent heard of, from the original thinkers of the natural wine movement to the iconic estates of Burgundy and Bordeaux. This is the alternative, accessible, no-holds-barred guide to wine, where the usual cliches and rules dont apply.
