Description

In this unique and evocative blend of food, drink and travel writing, Bert Blaize and Victoria Brzezinski give winemakers the floor to take us on a journey around the landscapes, cultures, cuisines, best places to eat and drink, and of course, wines, that they know and love better than anyone on earth. Wine producing regions are some of the most beautiful and fascinating parts of the planet. Where there’s good wine, there’s almost always good food, beautiful landscapes, a rich history, and fascinating characters who can speak to our complex and evolving relationship with our planet – because few people have a closer relationship with the earth than those who make wine from it. Those characters – including recovering rockstars, former engineers making wine in nuclear shelters, and daughters who have reclaimed their family’s land from defunct communist dictatorships – will be the ones whose perspectives, recommendations and stories we hear as we travel through the world’s wine producing regions both old and new. Each chapter will cover a region that could easily be explored within a 2–3 day trip – including Italy, France, USA, Australia, Spain, Argentina, China, South Africa, Germany, Greece, Portugal, Austria, Croatia, Georgia, Israel and the UK – as Bert and Victoria shed new light on the world of wine for those who enjoy the end product, reminding us all that what is in the bottle is a product of the land, its history… and a whole lot of fascinating human beings.
