Appendix IV: Greek Wine Books Greek Wines - a Comprehensive Guide 217 Geoff Adams - 2002

:: CONFIDENTIAL :: Global Public Rhetoric Analysis 20.10.2008 Wines from Greece Appendix IV: Greek Wine Books Greek Wines - A Comprehensive Guide 217 Geoff Adams - 2002 Geoff Adams is clearly a man possessed by the charms of Greek wines. His exhaustively well-informed book is aimed specifically at the UK market with comprehensive lists of UK stockists and importers of those wines currently available in this market. Greek winemaking has made huge strides in recent years, and many consumers have already discovered how good modern Greek wines can be through innovative retailers like Oddbins. Adams' book is an invaluable guide to seeking out the best Greek wines of the moment, and I'd thoroughly agree with his recommendations for those wines I've had a chance to try. Seventy-five producers are profiled in depth, with notes and ratings for their wines. There are also guides to Greek grapes (many of which are unfamiliar names) and to all of Greece's regions, including the many island wine areas. For those holidaying in Greece this summer, there is information on visiting, and there's even a selection of wine-friendly Greek food recipes. An indispensable tool for both the wine loving traveller in Greece and the domestic consumer alike. Features: directory and profiles of 75 producers; expert, in-depth tasting notes and at-a-glance ratings for over 460 wines; easy-to-use index of wines; descriptions of over 60 different grape varieties; all Greece's wine regions described in detail; essential information on wine laws and labels; information about winery visits; glossary of wine terms; ageing and storing wine; wine and food; Greek recipes. The 130 Best Greek Wines (Only the Best) 2002 The most complete, reliable and practical guide to Greek wines ever published.

This new book, released in the year 2000, is mostly given - as were his previous works - to wine tasting notes and the profiling of wine producers. The description of the characters, carefully worked with Nicos' known love for people, bring the reader close to the personalities behind the effort, the quality leap, of Greek wine-making. Small details related to the history of the wineries, of the simple people involved beyond the owners, elements which would have been overlooked by another author, are those which not only specially mark The Illustrated Greek Wine Book but also allow it to touch the reader - even the one with little knowledge of Greek wine reality. This is accomplished without ignoring for an instant the importance of the raw material for the production of quality wines: the grapes. As is usual in such instances, the wine tasting notes give rise to reactions from some producers and businessmen. However, in the end no one can question either Nicos Manessis' ability in this regard, or his integrity and impartiality. Chapters such as the ones on the grape lexicon, Greek wine classification, the vintage report, the wine roads of Macedonia, as well as aids for the proper pronunciation of the truly difficult names of Greek varieties and appellations, as well as the guide for an easier understanding of Greek labels, constitute significant aids in understanding modern Greek wine-making. The entire effort is set in context and enriched by texts from recognized authorities in the field, contributors such as Ilias Anagnostakis (Over the wine- dark sea: tracing Greek wine through the Middle Ages), Christos Karras (Back to the vineyard: bringing quality into the new Millennium), Diane Kochilas (Hunting for treasure in the Greek kitchen), Maggie McNie (Reaping the export harvest: now is the time for action), Maria Netsika (Greek wine classification), Avi Sharon (George Katsimbalis: Henry Miller's guide to Greek wine), Nicolas Vivas (Cradled in oak: a technical look at casks and the aging of wine), Yiannis Voyiatzis (Learning from the grapes: the art of cask-aging Greek wine), and, naturally, the exceptional photography of Constantinos Pittas.

The Olive and the Caper: Adventures in Greek Cooking Susanna Hoffman - 2004 This is the year "It's Greek to me" becomes the happy answer to what's for dinner. My Big Fat Greek Wedding, the upcoming epic Troy, the 2004 Summer Olympics returning to Athens--and now, yet another reason to embrace all things Greek: The Olive and the Caper, Susanna Hoffman's 700- plus-page serendipity of recipes and adventure. In Corfu, Ms. Hoffman and a taverna owner cook shrimp fresh from the trap--and for us she offers the boldly-flavored Shrimp with Fennel, Green Olives, Red Onion, and White Wine. She gathers wild greens and herbs with neighbors, inspiring Big Beans with Thyme and Parsley, and Field Greens and Ouzo Pie. She learns the secret to chewy country bread from the baker on Santorini and translates it for American kitchens. Including 325 recipes developed in collaboration with Victoria Wise (her co-author on The Well-Filled Tortilla Cookbook, with over 258,000 copies in print), The Olive and the Caper celebrates all things Greek: Chicken Neo-Avgolemeno. Fall-off-the-bone Lamb Shanks seasoned with garlic, thyme, cinnamon and coriander. Siren-like sweets, from world- renowned Baklava to uniquely Greek preserves: Rose Petal, Cherry and Grappa, Apricot and Metaxa. In addition, it opens with a sixteen-page full- color section and has dozens of lively essays throughout the book--about the origins of Greek food, about village life, history, language, customs--making this a lively adventure in reading as well as cooking. Secrets of Fat-free Greek Cooking Elaine Gavalas - 1999 This book is really quite interesting, very thorough, and the recipes truly are as about fat-free as you can get. Interestingly enough, a lot of them are also low carb as well. Very informative about Greek culture and customs as well. My only wish is that there were more recipes although there is enough presented to keep one busy for quite some time. I highly recommend this book. The author certainly knows how to invite strangers into her life (and to her table.) This books is exactly what it states it is and is truly a keeper.

The book describes how to spot a grape variety as against a wine style, the difference between a good wine deal and a bad wine deal, and where to shop for that special occasion. From wine on the web to impressing with taste this witty guide guarantees fool-proof advice on how to get the most out of drinking wine.

The World Atlas of Wine Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson - 2001 This is something of a dream-team production. The names of Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson are self-recommending for any book on which they appear: their unprecedented collaboration on The World Atlas of Wine is a guarantee of the most distinguished and intelligent writing on the subject... so it proves. The fifth edition (in 30 years) of this astonishingly successful book lives up to, and surpasses, its predecessors. In 350 densely packed but never clotted pages the authors manage the extraordinary feat of characterising wine production throughout the world, from Vancouver Island to Japan--for Buddhists first planted vines in that inhospitably precipitous, monsoon-lashed land over a thousand years ago. After a substantial introductory section dealing with the history of wine, its making, storage and enjoyment, we're off. Starting (where else?) with France and Burgundy. Each wine area is summarised in terms of its geography, climate and preferred vines; and the appellations, laws and traditions that govern production. The discussion of Pomerol, for example, tells you a great deal in one short page. Even since 1994, when the fourth edition came out, vast changes have swept the wine world, and many parts of the atlas have been correspondingly completely reworked. South America and Canada, Southern France and Italy, Greece, Critical Publics | EDOAO 95 See confidentiality restrictions on title page :: CONFIDENTIAL :: Global Public Rhetoric Analysis 20.10.2008 Wines from Greece Eastern Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean are among areas that have benefited.
