New book alert! Jamie Goode on Wine
I’m an analogue guy in a digital world and I really like books. And just in time for Christmas, a new book by me!
It’s a collection of 41 essays, some of which are already published, some of which are new, and some of which haven’t been published in English before, exploring the world of wine. The book is illustrated with black and white photographs, and it has a distinctive look and feel to it.
I wanted to gather these essays under the same cover because they work together. Putting this book together was a creative act, and I hope that anyone who buys it will get a lot of pleasure from it, and also some insight.
For the price of a bottle of supermarket wine, or three flat whites, I think it’s a great deal.
