Better than just a list of the 999+1 wines to absolutely drink, this book compiles the most incredible oenological experiences to be had, using the search for great wines as a pretext. You will find the most beautiful vineyards to visit and the best tasting locations in the world, but also the events and festivals not to be missed, as well as the places to enjoy a romantic stay in the heart of the vines. Whether it's touring the Champagne region in France or stomping grapes at harvest festivals in the California countryside, there is something for every taste and expertise level, with the added bonus of discovering gastronomic delights to die for and the oldest and most iconic wine cellars and bars in the world. Author, Founder, and editor of the wine website "themorningclaret.com," Simon J. Woolf is an award-winning English writer on wine and other beverages, currently living in Amsterdam.
