Around the World in Eighty Wines

Narrator Eric Michael Summerer leads the listener on a surprising journey through the world of wine with effortless style. His narration captures exotic locations and thoughtfully details numerous grape varietals. He gives this audiobook, which roughly approximates Jules Verne's peripatetic nineteenth-century classic, an energetic and compelling reading. Wine expert Mike Veseth travels the globe to discuss interesting local wines. His picks include wines from unusual regions (Kenya and Syria) and the best of the best from Bordeaux, with forays into the most popular wines (Lambrusco and Beaujolais Nouveau), as well as informed asides on global warming and grape growing. This listening experience is a fun journey and provides an idiosyncratic list of wines to test the most cultured oenophile and engage the beginner. A.D.M. � AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
