About Uncorking The Caucasus: Wines From
Product Description Explore the Cradle of Wine Uncorking the Caucasus is about the wines from Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia. Part travel narrative and part wine guide, this book will take the readers on a tasting tour through the wine regions in the three countries, recommend the best wine each place has to offer, provide anecdotal insights into the wine culture of each country, and discuss the history of ancient winemaking based on archeological evidence and folklores. Based on the authors' three-month wine travel trip through the Caucasus, this book takes a ground-level approach, which enables the readers to experience an intimate journey through the cradle of wine. Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia all claim to be the birthplace of wine. Some of those claims are supported by archaeological findings and some by anecdotal evidence. However, this book isn't about determining the birthplace of wine, but rather the goal is to capture the ethos of a wine region that is the connection between wine, people, and place. For the wines highlighted in this book, besides their sensory merits, they should also inspire conversations, spark curiosity, and reflect an inspiring point of view that challenges the narrative of wine. BONUS: Both the paperback and Kindle formats contain a QR code that will take you to a members site, which includes discount codes for online wine purchases and complimentary wine-tasting events. Review The Caucasus is at an exciting stage of development, with fascinating wines being made across the region. All of these wines have their own distinct characteristics and stories. Having been sharing the wines of Georgia with wine lovers across Asia, I feel a particular affinity to these wines and am thrilled that they have been put in the spotlight in a wonderful book such as this. Well done Charine and Matthew, for capturing the buzz of wines from the Caucasus so well. -- Debra Meiburg, Master of Wine Matthew Horkey and Charine Tan take us along for the ride as they travel the wine roads of Turkey, Armenia and Georgia in their intriguing new book Uncorking the Caucasus. It is exciting to see these ancient wine regions through their eyes and to experience the ways that the very old and the very new come together through wine. A perfect read for wine lovers looking for new wines, new regions, and new perspectives. Pack your bags and join Matthew and Charine as they uncork the Caucasus. Highly recommended. -- Mike Veseth, Wine Economist and Author Uncorking the Caucasus is an enjoyable read. It is written with the brain and heart, with knowledge and passion. -- Bruno Vanspauwen, Food & Wine Writer at De Standaard (Belgium) “Everyone who loves wine deserves to know its history. This book offers amazing details of the cradle of modern wine and will inspire you to drink (and travel) outside the box. “ - Madeline Puckette, Co-Founder and Content Director at Wine Folly “Fabulously approachable, concise, and most importantly, interesting and informative!” - Bree Boskov, Master of Wine and Wine Industry Consultant “Uncorking the Caucasus by Dr Matthew Horke and Charine Tan fills a niche too long left empty. The vineyards of Turkey and Armenia been all but ignored by tourists and the press alike, with only the third member of the Caucasus, Georgia having recently attained the smallest blip on the public’s radar. Geography, social constraints and history have conspired to sequester the secrets of this, the birthplace of wine. InUncorking the Caucasus, the authors share a first-hand narrative of their trek through the obstacles of discovering these surprisingly vibrant wine regions. As they point out, they have suffered the trials and tribulations so that you don’t have to. They make a good case for not only visiting this part of the world, with your corkscrew in one hand, but their indispensable book in the other.” - Stephen Reiss Ph.D., Certified Wine Educator and Author About the Author While traveling through t
