"e;I want my wines to tell a good story. I want them natural and most of all, like my dear friends, I want them to speak the truth even if we argue, says Alice Feiring. Join her as she sets off on her one-woman crusade against the tyranny of homogenization, wine consultants, and, of course, the 100-point scoring system of a certain all-powerful wine writer. Traveling through the ancient vineyards of the Loire and Champagne, to Piedmont and Spain, she goes in search of authentic barolo, the last old-style rioja, and the tastiest new terroir-driven champagnes. She reveals just what goes into the average bottlethe reverse osmosis, the yeasts and enzymes, the sawdust and oak chipsand why she doesnt find much to drink in California. And she introduces rebel winemakers who are embracing old-fashioned techniques and making wines with individuality and soul. No matter what your palate, travel the wine world with Feiring and youll have to ask yourself: What do i really want in my glass?
