WINE LIST - GRANT REYNOLDS GEBUNDEN

A one-of-a-kind exploration of the relationship between culture  politics  history  and wine.
Vintage refers to the year grapes are harvested  and that vintage holds meaning. You can look
up the weather in any almanac  but some stories are known only to insiders--until now. In this
wine book Grant Reynolds  award-winning sommelier  deciphers these signatures to reveal the
impact of marketing and mentorship  technology and trends  and influencers old and new.
Beginning in the late eighteenth century with a tale about Thomas Jefferson's secret White
House stash and spanning over a quarter of a millennium to social media's effect on chenin
blanc's popularity  The Wine List explores both the chemistry and sociology that have made
vintages taste a certain way  fetch a certain price  or go extinct altogether. Featuring
sidebars on topics like the taste of climate change  mini timelines capturing significant
historical moments  and collage-style illustration  these entries solidify the idea that every
bottle is a product of a particular moment in time. A must-read for fans of wine books like
Wine Folly or The World Atlas of Wine  The Wine List is a fresh new wine bible perfect for
anyone looking for bar cart books or gifts for wine lovers.
