I bought The Great Domaines of Burgundy by Remington Norman after reading the companion book, Grand Cru. It got here today!
This is by far my best internet purchase. Just from flipping through it, there’s enough information in here for me to finally have a solid grasp of the world’s most complex wine region. The detail and thoroughness here has me just totally flabbergasted. I paid $20 for it; there is way more than $20 worth of information here. This will be invaluable to me professionally, and for my own personal understanding and enjoyment.
The companion book, Grand Cru, was also interesting and informative, but in a more broad overview kind of way. This really delves deep into all the detailed information I’ve been wanting.
Also, the author has a cynical, snarky, world-weary tone that shows through sometimes, and many of his little asides about the wine world made me laugh out loud for how true they were. Like, I’ve become smarter for reading it, and many times I wanted to give him the BIGGEST high five.
I can’t wait to spend a few quiet hours drinking a nice bottle and reading the new book. I am so excite.
Also, buying dresses on eshakti.com was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’ve never before found clothes so cute, high-quality, and flattering.
