Award-winning food and travel writer Nina Caplan goes in search of the founding myths of our wine-loving culture. From the chalky terroirs of Champagne, where prestige winemakers produce the most expensive bottles available on earth, to the rocky outcrops of Spain, via plucky English vineyards at their mere beginnings and modern craftsmen employing ancient methods of winemaking in Roman amphorae, she blends history with personal discovery, uncovers Jewish customs and Roman, and, of course, pairs fantastic wine with delicious food.
