Georgia: A guide to the cradle of wine
Recipient of the Geoffrey Roberts Award, this book delves head first into the 8,000 year-old wine traditions of the Republic of Georgia. A storied past, this mountainous country on the Black Sea is finally getting recognition for its unique and wonderful wines and grapes including Rkatsiteli, Saperavi, Chinuri, Krakhuna, Kisi, and over 400 more. Made in both the “international method” of barrel and tank aging as well as the ancient method of terracotta pots called “kvevri“, Georgia offers up a wine for everyone and delicious local dishes to accompany them. This is your complete guide to the wines, food, and people of this beautiful land.

Beyond Flavour
Beyond Flavour is a practical guide to blind wine tasting which will help wine lovers increase their knowledge and improve their blind tasting skills. The book offers detailed descriptions of the key attributes of major grape varieties and wine producing regions, and argues that assessing a wine's structure - acid structure in white wines and tannin structure in red wines - is a more reliable indicator of a wine's identity than the traditional reliance on flavour. Beyond Flavour includes analysis of wine style by country and region; descriptions of recent vintages for classic European origins; and tips for blind tasting exams. Beyond Flavour is an indispensable guide to blind wine tasting for wine students, professionals and others seriously interested in understanding why wines taste like they do.
The Concise Guide to Wine and Blind Tasting
All the major wine styles and regions are covered in the new edition of this clear and concise primer, together with notes on the history of wine, winemaking, and blind tasting.
Vinologue Montsant
Often mistakenly referred to as the “affordable Priorat” which it wraps around, the DO Montsant was established just 10 years ago but has been a land of family winemakers for centuries. A rolling landscape, it’s boxed in by the sharp, craggy Montsant mountain range from which the wines receive their name. Countless lovely old vines (older even than those in neighboring Priorat) of Grenache, Carignan, and Tempranillo form the backbone of the wines in this crescent shaped zone. The first edition of this enotourism guide has 65 extensive winery profiles in Montsant with GPS coordinates, hundreds of full color photos, maps, and tasting notes for 225 wines.
Vinologue Guide to Enotourism
Want to take off on that wild wine excursion to Bordeaux or Rioja or Tuscany? This enotourism guide was created by the Vinologue authors to give you an introduction to visiting and tasting the wines of the world.
Vinologue Herzegovina
The history of this southern-most part of Bosnia Herzegovina is storied and complex. It has weathered many an invading army, as well as many a government. Croatian pride runs rampant through the region and you’ll see more Croatian flags than Bosnia Herzegovina ones wherever you go. This confusing, split personality of the land ironically doesn’t come in to the wine, except for the fact that almost all, if not all of the winemakers are people with Croatian origins. Wine production is mostly centered on two main hubs: Čitluk and Međugorje. These are both so deep in the south and near the border of Croatia that if you take a wrong turn, you’ll end up in Dalmatia. The main grapes of Blatina and Žilavka grow abundantly along these rolling, inland hills and valleys and provide a great variety of delicious tastes. Let our Herzegovina guide take you in to the interior and explore these wines.
