Oz Clarke Wine Atlas


Book Description

The Oz Clarke Wine Atlas takes the reader on a 'grand tour' of the great wine regions of the world. With more than 75 hand-painted panoramic maps accompanied by opinionated prose, this atlas illustrates and explains the vital connections between the landcape and the wine. Fundamental to the understanding of wine is a sense of place. Knowing which country, which region, which hillside and which vineyard a wine comes from adds enormously to the pleasure of drinking it. ‘There’s no livelier, more knowledgeable wine writer than Oz Clarke. His opinionated prose resounds through every chapter.’ The Washington Post ‘best of all, Mr Clarke’s sharp-edged, spicy commentary makes this atlas a joy to read, not just a useful reference too.’ Wall Street Journal Europe ‘Clarke spins word pictures on what makes wine what it is with authority, color and clarity. To read his explanation of what makes each region special is to find yourself smelling the air and feeling the rocks under your feet. It’s the next best thing to being there.’ Wine Spectator ‘Clarke is one of the most out-spoken and entertaining wine writers. His prose is sharp-edged, informative, wonderfully readable and, best of all, completely unpretentious.’ Anthony Dias Blue, Mercury News
