Reddit reviews Adventures on the Wine Route

I bought Great Wine Made Simple by Andrea Immer Robinson a few weeks ago. I found it easy to read and understand.

I am now reading Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France by Kermit Lynch. It is very interesting.

Right on, glad it was still tasty. No problem on the foil. If I see this brought up somewhere else I'll try to get my hands on a wine-contacting lead foil.

Kermit Lynch tells a funny anecdote about a similar experience in Adventures on the Wine Route: A Wine Buyer's Tour of France where (if I recall) a 1929 d'Yquem, or some similarly legendary wine, came out of a restaurant's cellar with only the lead foil protecting it from the atmosphere. If you have any interest in wine, that book is a hoot and a half.

Consider the following books, which she may not have, but which any wine enthusiast or expert would enjoy:
