520 $a"Naked wine is wine stripped down to its basics-wine as it was meant to be: wholesome, exciting, provocative, living, sensual, and pure. Naked, or natural, wine is the opposite of most New World wines today; Alice Feiring calls them "overripe, over-manipulated, and overblown" and makes her case that good (and possibly great) wine can still be made, if only winemakers would listen more to nature and less to marketers, and stop using additives and chemicals. But letting wine make itself is harder than it seems.Three years ago, Feiring answered a dare to try her hand at natural winemaking. In Naked Wine,she details her adventure-sometimes calm, sometimes wild, always revealing-and peers into the nooks and crannies of today's exciting, new (but centuries-old) world of natural wine"--$cProvided by publisher.
520 $a"In the fall of 2008, Alice Feiring, wine and travel columnist, author, and leading advocate for natural wines (made with nothing but crushed bunches of fruit) answered a dare to try her hand at natural wine making. That experience is entertainingly told with caustic wit in Naked Wine. Naked wine is wine stripped down to its basics--wine as it was meant to be: wholesome, exciting, provocative, living, sensual, and pure. The word "naked" in the title refers also to the author's skin-on-skin contact with the wine she helped make. She weaves her adventure, sometimes calm, sometimes wild, into this new (but centuries-old) world of natural wine, the most powerful movement rocking today's wine world"--$cProvided by publisher.
