This guide to Jamie Goode's philosophy divulges what you need to know
(and what you don't) about the world of wine.
Who will have the last word on wine, if not Jamie Goode? Over the last
decade, Goode has embarked on almost nonstop travel through the world's
vineyards in an effort to understand the beautifully diverse and
complicated world of wine. His hard-nosed pursuit of the most
interesting stories to tell about wine has led us here, to The Goode
Guide to Wine.
This book - a sort of manifesto - distills many of the observations,
lessons, and opinions that have made Jamie Goode a renowned voice within
the wine world. In a series of short, pithy, and often rather blunt
chapters, he celebrates what is exciting and interesting about wine,
asks how we could do things better, and points out some of the
absurdities of wine culture. Jamie Goode has a distinct philosophy when
it comes to wine, and he knows you may disagree; if you do, that means
it's working. The Goode Guide to Wine is a book designed to provoke
and inspire in equal measure, encouraging the listener to be critical
and to see the world of wine through fresh eyes.
