Travel with Robert Joseph, best-selling and award-winning wine author as he recounts the history and ambience of a place where wine has been produced for more than 1,000 years. This personal tour through varied regions of Bordeaux describes the individual characters of the wines and wine-making hotspots (such as Margaux and St. Émilion), as well as the role played by the region’s climate, soil, and landscape. More than 100 evocative, specially commissioned photographs convey the region’s flavor and diversity. Visit the châteaux, villages, and vineyards, and meet the men and women who, every year, turn baskets of grapes into the bottles of wine that are sought after and savored throughout the world.
