"Goode and Harrop are terroirists determined to protect and preserve wine as a unique part of civilized life. Authentic Wine is both stirring manifesto and a reasoned, practical guide. Vive les terroirists!"--Mike Veseth, author of Wine Wars: The Curse of the Blue Nun, the Miracle of Two Buck Chuck and the Revenge of the Terroirists "Jamie Goode is a rarity in the wine world: a trained scientist who can explain complicated subjects without dumbing them down or coming over like a pointy head. It also helps that he's a terrific writer with a real passion for his subject."--Tim Atkin MW "It is not surprising that wine often stimulates the flow of bile - often exchanged between highly opinionated groups of wine writers, drinkers and kibbitzers, each with a different aesthetic and ideology. This book by Jamie Goode and Sam Harrop mounts a passionate defense of "natural wine" from an utterly rational perspective. They make the case that we must choose to grow grapes and make wines in a natural way, allowing the wines to achieve the greatest expression of individuality, lest we drown in an a wine-dark (possibly over-extracted) sea of sameness."--Randall Grahm, author of Been Doon So Long "Praise for Jamie Goode's The Science of Wine ": "Mr.

Goode has written one of the most enlightening and clearheaded wine books to appear in years. This is a wine book you'll actually read and reread."--Matt Kramer, New York Sun "Lively and provocative."--Eric Asimov, New York Times "Goode's readable prose makes even the most technical subjects accessible. For anyone interested in more than just drinking wine, this is a must read." Wine Enthusiast.
