{"product_id":"9781787139886","title":"Who's Afraid of Romanee-Conti? : A Shortcut to Drinking Great Wines by Dan Keeling","description":"Take the guesswork out of great wine with Noble Rot's Dan Keeling.   Wine can be daunting without an incisive guide. Who's Afraid of Roman?e-Conti? is a no-holds-barred voyage of discovery, from sourcing good cheap vino to drinking its most unattainable and holiest of grails - Roman?e-Conti - and the universe of interstellar wines that lie in-between.  From new-school Burgundy, Barolo and Champagne to Tenerife, Corsica and Chianti, Noble Rot co-founder Dan Keeling visits some of the world's most renowned vignerons and vineyards on a quest to find out why some wines matter - and why many others don't. Throughout, he details the complex aspects of traditionalist wine culture, offering insights into subjects such as sulphur in winemaking, building a cellar, and many personal recommendations on what to buy for every pocket.    It's wine - but not as you know it.   \"I love this book. There's pleasure on every page. It's essential reading for wine lovers and wine novices.\" - Keira Knightley\"Who's Afraid of Roman?e-Conti? makes discovering great wine as exciting as the NME made discovering great music back in the day.\" - Mike Diamond, The Beastie Boys\"In the world of fine wine and fine eats, Keeling's palate rules. Above all, this Englishman is a literate man of taste, passion, and talent. Bon app?tit!\" - Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route.   \"This book is bloody amazing! ... Empowering, energising and without a scintilla of snobbery, this set off little explosions of excitement in me. It's your passport to pleasure.\" - Diana Henry\"Every word and thought here is shot through with verve, wit and often piercing snark. I dare you not to be engaged by the wisdom and writing of Dan Keeling. Do you need this collection of attitude-changing essays? If you care about wine (or want to) you absolutely do.\" - Alice Feiring, author of?To Fall in Love, Drink This.   \"No-one writes about wine like Dan Keeling. Who's Afraid is totally absorbing and just as importantly fun.
