"Tyler
Balliet has done it again with another radically accessible
take on wine education" — JACQUELINE
STRUM, president and publisher, Wine Enthusiast
Balliet's Rebel School of Wine is an engaging, illustrated guide
book that brings wine education into the 21st century. Forget the
overcomplicated tasting notes and cryptic jargon. In this
comprehensive guide, Balliet explores every major wine region, both
large and small; grape varieties from Aglianico to Zinfandel; the
growing and production processes; the business of wine; and much
more. Peppered with practical tips, travel inspiration, and food
pairings, Rebel School of Wine blends history, science, economics,
and pop culture as it digs deeper to ask why wine exists, how it
came to be, and why it is so much more than just a beverage.
From the ancient vines to today's pop hits, wine has stories to
tell, and Balliet narrates them with a fresh, unapologetic style
that resonates with anyone looking to crack open the world of wine.
Why did the economic downturn in Argentina make Malbec a worldwide sensation?
How did the invention of Port wine forged a four-century trade deal
between the Portuguese and English? Rebel School of Wine covers
these intriguing narratives and more with over 450 eye-catching,
memorable illustrations from digital artist Amber Day and creative direction from
Morgan First.
This guide is your backstage pass to the global wine scene, from
Supra feasts in the Republic of Georgia to the cozy tapas bars of Spain, and even to the surprising vineyards of
Lake Michigan. Balliet's witty
prose and practical tips make the world of wine accessible,
enjoyable, and excitingly relevant to today's wine drinkers,
whether you're a casual yet curious drinker or a wine professional
in training.
Readers of Rebel School of Wine will find
- A Comprehensive Wine Guide: Balliet's command of the story of
wine, as well as his love for the subject and his fellow wine
drinkers, is evident from page one. Every major wine region and all
their major wine grapes are covered along with unexpected histories
and cultural tales, food and wine pairings, as well as travel and
buying tips.
- A Picture Book for Wine Drinkers: Illustrator Amber Day
skillfully conveys complex ideas with more than 450 eye-popping,
visually stunning, and memorable original illustrations without
ever dumbing down the subject matter.
- A New Kind of Wine Reference Book: Fully indexed and organized
into easy to grasp sections, one could read this book from front to
back, but why would you? The creatives behind Rebel School of Wine
struggle themselves with linear and traditional wine books. Balliet
and First wrote a book they wished they had had 20 years ago when
they started to explore wine. Read front to back or pick up in the
middle; the choice is yours.
