About the Book
In One Thousand Vines, internationally celebrated sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier answers all the important questions about wine. With three main parts – Reading Vines, Reading Landscapes and Reading Wines – the book challenges preconceived ideas about the vine and its wine. It explains where we are now, how we got here, and shows us a way forward – in how grapes will be grown, made into wine, sold and enjoyed. Already a bestseller in Pascaline’s native France, One Thousand Vines isn’t an encyclopedia or atlas but it answers all the important questions about wine and offers the reader keys to understanding the links between the bottle and the producers, terroirs and vineyards which give birth to it. With a refreshingly unique approach, star sommelier Pascaline Lepeltier offers those curious about wine not only the answers but also the tools to understand it by oneself.
*A CoPY OF The Book IS included in the price of the event TICKET
Please note that our classes, workshops & events are only open to adults.
ABOUT YOUR HOST
Pascaline Lepeltier is probably the most decorated female sommelier on the planet. She is one of only 25 or so women to have been certified a Master Sommelier, and was the first woman to be named Meilleur Sommelier de France and also Meilleur Ouvrier de France (MOF). Pascaline has written for various prominent wine guides and books in France, and is a contributor to The Oxford Companion to Wine. Having grown up in the Loire Valley, she left an academic career in philosophy to enter the world of wine at a young age. After winning numerous awards and accolades in France, she moved to New York in 2009 to open the US outpost of the famed Michelin-star restaurant Rouge Tomate, hailed by Eric Asimov in the New York Times as ‘world-class, with exquisite taste’. She has since joined the wine-focused restaurant Chambers.
