Discover new favorites by tracing wine back to its roots

Still drinking Cabernet after that one bottle you liked five years ago? It may be overwhelming if not intimidating to branch out from your go-to grape, but everyone wants their next wine to be new and exciting. How to select the right one? Award-winning wine critic Alice Feiring presents an all-new way to take a look at the world of wine. Whilst grape variety is very important, a lot may also be learned about wine by taking a look on the source: the ground in which it grows. A surprising amount of information about a wine’s flavor and composition may also be gleaned from a region’s soil, and this guide makes it simple to find the wines you’ll love.

Featuring a foreword by Master Sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier, who contributed her vast knowledge all the way through the book, The Dirty Guide to Wine organizes wines not by grape, not by region, not by New or Old World, but by soil. For those who enjoy a Chardonnay from Burgundy, you might find the same winning qualities in a deep, red Rioja. Feiring also provides a clarifying account of the traditions and techniques of wine-tasting, demystifying the practice and introducing a whole new way to enjoy wine to sommeliers and novice drinkers alike.
