Grenache: Beginners Guide to Wine

by Shannon Borg

Sometimes underappreciated but still one of the most widely planted grapes, Grenache wines swing with ease from fruity and light to big, bold and intense. Grenache truly has it all, whether you like a crisp white blend, a refreshingly dry rosé or a deep, rich Port-like taste. Wine writer Shannon Borg takes you through this grape’s rainbow of colors and shows how soil types and location have influenced its styles, from France’s Southern Rhône Valley to the Priorat and Navarra regions in Spain. “ Beginners Guide to Wine” advises you on what to look for on labels, suggests types of meats and dishes that pair with it best and gives glassware and serving tips to make this spirit one you will truly savor.

This is my first eBook! How exciting! I'm just figuring out the marketing thing, too. But it was very fun to delve into one grape/wine so fully for a while. Hopefully this is a valiant first effort! Thanks, Demand Publishing!

The author / poet / wine steward imparts a satisfying "mouthfeel" to her lyrical yet informative history of the Grenache grape and wines. I only wish I'd poured myself a glass of one of the myriad Grenache wines while I read this. Makes me want to host a Grenache-tasting party!
