Recenzii
Thank

for
Nina
Caplan,
who
brings

bit
of
hinterland
to
this
often
dry
subject
.The
Wandering
Vine,her
first
book,
is
about
much
more
than
wine.
It's
a
heady
blend
of
travel,
literature,
memoir,
history
and
what
I
can
only
describe
as
psychogeography
.The
Wandering
Vinehas

A travel journal like no other I've ever read: evocative, intelligent, beautifully written, a pilgrimage of the soul through a love of wine and the vineyards that produce it.
A lively journey from the vineyards of antiquity to the modern dining table. You'll savour every last drop.
Rich and multi-layered, full of love and family, erudite and dense with fascinating detail while being as deliciously gluggable as a fine pinot noir. Intoxicating stuff.
Nina Caplan and I share a family tree; I had no idea, until I read this marvellous book, that it was a vine. I am drunk with her passionate knowledge
[Caplan] blends her wide knowledge of wine with a rich sense of its pleasures, as she retells the story of Europe and her own family history through a bottle ... she guides us from the upstart vineyards of England, through France and Spain, and to the heart of the empire in Rome, Caplan's knowledge always enhances and never obscures the flavours ... delicious
An enthralling account of her journey of research into the history ofvino, reaching back to ancient Rome, her liquid capital
The Wandering Vineis ultimately both a wine and a travel book. Wine writing has descended to reams of indigestible tasting notes ... travel writing appears to be mostly composed of gobbets about spa treatments ... somebody needs to rescue both. Caplan is surely on the right path.
A profoundly philosophical book that has a weightless energy . deep, yet whimsical

WINNER OF THE FORTNUM & MASON FOOD AND DRINK AWARDS DEBUT DRINK BOOK OF THE YEAR 2019WINNER OF THE LOUIS ROEDERER INTERNATIONAL WINE BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD 2018'Wine is alive, ageing and changing, but it's also a triumph over death. These grapes should rot. Instead they ferment. What better magic potion could there be, to convey us to the past?'Impelled by a dual thirst, for wine and for knowledge, Nina Caplan follows the vine into the past, wandering from Champagne's ancient chalk to the mountains of Campania, via the crumbling Roman ruins that flank the river Rhône and the remote slopes of Priorat in Catalonia. She meets people whose character, stubbornness and sometimes, borderline craziness makes their wine great: an intrepid Englishman planting on rabbit-infested Downs, a glamorous eagle-chasing Spaniard and an Italian lawyer obsessed with reviving Falernian, legendary wine of the Romans. In the course of her travels, she drinks a lot and learns a lot: about dead conquerors and living wines, forgotten zealots and - in vino veritas, as Pliny said - about herself. In this lyrical and charming book, Nina Caplan drinks in order to remember and travels in order to understand the meaning of home. This is narrative travel writing at its best.
