Andrea Robinson: Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier

Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier


Description

From "one of the wine world's most popular voices" ("USA""Today"), a newly updated edition of her by-now classic introduction to wine, "GREAT WINE MADE SIMPLE: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier," reflects up-to-the minute wine trends, including the burgeoning popularity of the Shiraz grape, new flavor maps, and much, much more. First published in 2000, "Great Wine Made Simple" established Andrea Immer Robinson as America's favorite wine writer. Avoiding the traditional and confusingly vague wine language of "bouquet" and "nose," and instead discussing wine in commonsense terms, the book launched Andrea's career as a wine authority without pretense. Now, thoroughly revised, "Great Wine Made Simple" lives up to its title by making selecting and enjoying wine truly simple. With Andrea Immer Robinson as your guide, you will never again have to fear pricey bottles that don't deliver, snobby wine waiters, foreign terminology, or encyclopedic restaurant wine lists. You'll be able to buy or order wine with confidence--and get just the wine you want--by learning how the "Big Six" basic styles (which comprise 80 percent of today's top selling wines) taste and how to read any wine label. Ten new flavor maps show what tastes you can expect from climates around the world. Andrea Immer Robinson genuinely knows more about wine than most wine lovers could ever hope to learn. But she doesn't believe that you have to join a stuffy, exclusive wine-tasting set, or study a lot, to become a savvy wine buyer. Unlike other wine guides, "Great Wine Made Simple" makes it easy to master the ins and outs of choosing a wine that you and your guests will love--on any budget. In her down-to-earth style, Andrea guides you through follow-along-at-home wine tastings that are easy, fun, and affordable, and even suggests a milk tasting for understanding variations in wine-body style. Building on this foundation, she covers the rest of the wine landscape with her inimitable style, candor, and humor, from classic regions to new tastes, plus a bevy of practical issues like wine gear and proper storage. A refreshing blend of in-depth knowledge and accessibility, "Great Wine Made Simple" is a welcome resource for those who are intrigued by wine but don't know where to start.

The photographs that Chris Killip (born 1946) took in Northern England between 1973 and 1985 were first published by Secker & Warburg as "In Flagrante" in 1988, a volume that quickly established itself as the most important 1980s photobook on England and a classic of the genre. Compassionate but unwavering in its gaze, "In Flagrante" documented industrial Northern England in decline, suffering from the aftershocks of neoliberal economic strategies most brutally embodied in the policies of Margaret Thatcher. "The objective history of England doesn't amount to much if you don't believe in it, and I don't," reflects Killip. "And I don't believe that anyone in these photographs does either, as they face the reality of deindustrialization in a system which regards their lives as disposable.""Chris Killip: In Flagrante Two" revisits the classic photobook with a beautifully produced, radically updated presentation: each double-page spread features a single Great Wine Made Simple: Straight Talk from a Master Sommelier free epub image on the right side. Strident in its belief in the primacy and power of the photographic image, "In Flagrante Two" allows for and embraces ambiguities and contradictions arising from the unadorned narrative sequence, completely devoid of text--forcing viewers to truly look, to witness.
