‘One Thousand Vines: A New Way to Understand Wine’

A thoughtful, stunning winebook by one of our favourite people. With years of knowledge, experience and exploration, ‘One Thousand Vines’ is a true treasure, and utterly unique reference staple to keep by your side into eternity! The HIGHLY anticipated first book by one of the most highly regarded women in the world of wine, the French-born, US-based sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier. Through three main segments - ‘Reading Vines’, ‘Reading Landscapes’ and ‘Reading Wines’, Pascaline challenges the world’s preconceived ideas on everything from vine to wine.  Alongside stunning graphics she shares gems like, “…wine is “alchemical”; its double birth, first in the cellar and then in the mind of the person who enjoys it and gives it meaning…a transcendent transformation that still has the power to amaze, even though it has been going on for more than seven thousand years.”, and “Is there a particular geology that suits them, with select minerals that transcend the influence of Vitis and provide us with access to “the true taste of the earth”, as Colette puts it in Prisons et Paradis?”

THE REVIEWS! "This book is every wine book you ever needed and every wine book you could ever want." - JancisRobinson.com

"Entwining culture, philosophy, history, and science, Pascaline Lepeltier's One Thousand Vines is nothing short of an astonishing work of genius. This is an essential resource for understanding wine in all its marvellous complexity." - Alice Feiring
