Learn everything you wanted to know about wine from one of the world's leading wine experts.A literalist might say that wine is a fermented liquid we drink, but that’s like saying that Pride and Prejudice or Leaves of Grass are piles of pulp with ink on them: true in a sadly crude way, perhaps, but at the same time as far as can be from the real heart of the matter.As International Master of Wine Rob Geddes explains, every bottle of wine is a book that tells three stories: where it came from, who made it, and what it’s made of. But—and here’s the rub—each of the stories comes in coded form, and you would be wise to seek an experienced guide who can help teach you to read them.In this audio course, Rob gives you a key to decipher one—and perhaps the most influential—of the codes, the one that tells you what the wine is made of. This code is the language of the varietals, the types of grapes that deeply affect the flavor, feel, and other mysterious qualities of wine.Rob discusses each type of grape in considerable depth, explaining how it can contribute character, structure, flavor, finish, complexity, and balance to a wine. He suggests specific wines to sample as companions to each lecture so that the series becomes your personal guided tour of tastes from around the globe.
