Product Description
CHARDONNAY presents a lush, detailed portrait of this most popular of all grape varieties. Award-winning photographer Charles O’Rear takes his camera to the most picturesque Chardonnay-growing regions of the world and documents their people and unique landscapes. The story of Chardonnay unfolds in an absorbing photographic essay, from dew-covered grapes hanging on the vine to the ultimate moment when the winemaker pours the first drop of delicious pale gold wine into the glass. Ranging from the verdant, rolling hills of California’s Napa Valley to the illustrious chateaus of Burgundy, this book captures the poetry and history of Chardonnay, the world’s favorite white wine. Charles O’Rear is an award-winning photographer who is known for his work for National Geographic. Among his books of photographs is the best-selling Napa Valley. Margrit Biever Mondavi and her husband, Robert, own the Robert Mondavi Winery, the most recognized and purchased wine label… More >>

Product Description
Fat Bastard Chardonnay, Lazy Lizard Shiraz, White Trash White. These three wines—and more than 100 others—can be found in Marilyn Merlot and the Naked Grape, a celebration of the oddest wines in the world. Some have strange names, like Cat’s Pee on a Gooseberry Bush. Others have bizarre artwork, like the Magritte-inspired UFO invasion. Still others have unusual production features (Braille typography, heat-sensitive inks, lenticular art, and more). Along with brilliant reproductions of the original labels, we’ll feature brief stories about the origins of the wines, plus tasting notes from the author. Readers will learn about unusual vineyards (like Cleavage Creek, which donates its proceeds to breast cancer research) as well as the most innovative artists working in the wine label medium. Finally, there’s an appendix of resources that will help you buy these wines—so you can try them for yourself!… More >>
