Gerald Asher, who served as Gourmet's wine editor for 30 years, has drawn together this selection of his essays, published in Gourmet and elsewhere, for the collective insight they give into why a wine should always be an expression of a place and a time. Guiding the reader through 27 diverse wine regions in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, and California, he shows how every wine worth drinking is a reflection of its terroir - in the broadest sense of that untranslatable word.

Really hard to listen to
Revisado: 04-10-18
I was looking for a book, that describes more about wine in general. This one is more about specific wine regions, a bit of their history, specific vineyards in the region, as well as their wine.
As the author started to write about wine in the late 70s/early 80s, a lot of the early part in the book is from the 80s and therefore describes wines, that are no longer available. Don't get me wrong, if you know the area a bit, then this can still be interesting. If not, then it's hard to listen to.
His pronunciation of the different locations is adventurous and makes it actually quite hard to find those on a map. But even worse is the (in the early chapters) strong French accent, that the narrator makes up, each time he speaks about French winemakers. This really makes it hard to listen to the book. I am not sure, if I go on to find out, how his made up Spanish, Italian or German accent sounds...
