Great Wine: How to Understand and Enjoy the World’s 10 Best Wine Varietals

di Rob Geddes (Autore)

Learn25, 2009

Learn to understand and enjoy world’s standout wine-grape varietals with Master of Wine Rob Geddes. An educator, reviewer, judge, frequent guest expert, and the brains behind the mobile app Australian Wine Vintages, Geddes has been a forerunner in the democratization of the wine industry. In this 12-part audio course, Geddes shares some tricks of the trade with the casual wine-drinker. Taking cues from Geddes’s expertise, you will consider the chemistry behind the creation of flavor–the nuances of which he subdivides into the balance, length, intensity, and complexity of flavor. Throughout the program, Geddes recommends wines for you to sample; the effect is of touring wine country, minus the costs of travel and lodging. This is Geddes’s critical maneuver: sounding the death of elitism by praising bottles under $20 with the same enthusiasm as bottles over $150. Specific topics of discussion include: Cabernet Sauvignon (from Chile and Anderson Valley, California); Champagne and Sparkling Wines; Chardonnay (from the Napa Valley and Australia); Merlot (from Italy and California); Pinot Grigio (from Italy and Oregon); and Port and Madeira. Whether you aim to assemble your own amateur collection or aspire to become more knowledgeable about pairings, Geddes’s program is right up your alley. This course is part of the Learn25 Collection.
