how wine is made  how to taste it  how to open it  where to buy it. Once you've mastered the
basics  explore the regions behind the team's favourite wines and meet the people who make them
in the company of Dan Keeling and Mark Andrew. Dan and Mark have spent years visiting growers
and winemakers that you probably haven't heard of  and sampling grape varieties that you almost
definitely haven't tasted before. This is the alternative  accessible  no-holds-barred guide to
