Who's Afraid of Roman矇e-Conti?
Wine can be daunting without an incisive guide. Who's Afraid of Roman矇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矇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矇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矇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. Love it." - Angela Hartnett

Ros矇 Revolution
Ros矇 is the wine that has experienced the most progress in recent years. It is inclusive, unsnobbish, and is a marker of the good life. Like ros矇 wine, Ros矇 Revolution is easy to embrace. Ros矇 wine is authenticating itself as the third wine category, which acts as a versatile bridge-builder between red and white and is suitable for most occasions and meals. The wine has a broad reach--from the novice to the general wine consumer to the wine nerd--and is riding a wave of popularity, market availability, and expanding recognition that looks set to continue for years to come. With most celebrated and well-known wine critics/writers not paying much attention to ros矇 and motivated by a gap in the market for a book about ros矇 told through the winemakers themselves--their motivations, ambitions, and foremost urge for quality--the authors traveled around the world to visit some of the most significant ros矇 producers. Both those who established the foundation for the ros矇 revolution and those who caused its eruption. Each producer has an exciting tale to tell. Each, in its way, contributes to the fascinating story of the Ros矇 Revolution. As one of the participants, Sacha Lichine, creator of the world's best-selling ros矇, Whispering Angel, so precisely phrases it: "From the beginning, the idea was to make ros矇 into real wine. Everyone looked at us like we were completely crazy. I guess, we were." With 13 chapters filled with stunning photos and illustrations Ros矇 Revolution is a must-have for every wine lover. As lifelong wine enthusiasts Rasmus and Jens have both embraced ros矇 wine--its history, taste, appeal, color, and allure that come together in delightful harmony.
