Who’s Afraid of Romanee-Conti?: A Shortcut to Drinking Great Wines by Dan Keeling

As described on Amazon:

"Wine can be daunting without an incisive guide. Who’s Afraid of Romanée-Conti? is a no-holds-barred voyage of discovery, from sourcing good cheap vino to drinking its most unattainable and holiest of grails – Romanée-Conti – and the universe of interstellar wines that lie in-between.

From new-school Burgundy, Barolo and Champagne to Tenerife, Corsica and Chianti, Noble Rot co-founder Dan Keeling visits some of the world’s most renowned vignerons and vineyards on a quest to find out why some wines matter – and why many others don’t. Throughout, he details the complex aspects of traditionalist wine culture, offering insights into subjects such as sulphur in winemaking, building a cellar, and many personal recommendations on what to buy for every pocket.

It’s wine – but not as you know it."

This event is open to members and non-members, women and men alike. You don't even have to finish the book to come be a part of the discussion. We will share six wines while discussing the book. Along with the discussion and wine sharing, many of our guests like to bring small bites for sharing. This is a great opportunity to make new wine friends while learning a bit more about wine and history. Be sure to RSVP, as seats are limited.
