A Peculiar Collection of Uncommon Wines Within these pages are more than 100 of the oddest wines ever produced. Some have unusual names, like Fat Bastard Chardonnay and Lazy Lizard Shiraz. Others feature curious artwork of singing frogs and UFO invasions. Still others boast unique production features, such as Braille typography, heat-sensitive ink, and lenticular art. Along with full-color reproductions of the original labels, author Peter F. May shares stories about the origins of the wines and provides helpful tasting notes. Readers will learn about unusual vineyards (like Cleavage Creek, which donates its proceeds to breast cancer research) as well as the most innovative artists working in the wine label medium. Finally, there’s an appendix of resources that will help you locate these wines—so you can savor them yourself.

If you read wine reviews, you're already either amused or confused by the soaring language wine writers often use to describe what they're smelling and tasting. But do you always know what they mean? Have you ever sipped a complex white and sensed what's so colorfully described as a peacock's tail? Have you ever savored a full-bodied red only to detect the ripe acrid smell of a horse stall? If not, you're in for a treat, because these terms and thousands more are all here to amuse, dismay, enlighten, inspire, puzzle, and utterly shock you . Welcome to the rich linguistic universe of wine speak: a world where words and wine intersect in an uncontrolled riot of language guaranteed to keep you entertained for hours. The author, a lifelong lover of both wine and words, has compiled and organized this unique thesaurus of 36,975 wine tasting descriptors into 20 special collections extracted from 27 categories so you can locate exactly the right term or phrase to express yourself clearly or to understand others. May your path across the galaxy of wine be paved only with labels from the very best bottles on earth. Or, much more cautiously, with wines that could introduce you to angel pee, citronella, eastern European fruit soup, Godzilla, iodine, ladies' underwear, mustard gas, old running shoes, rawhide, hot tar roads, bubblegum, sweaty saddles, crushed ants, kitchen drains, or even turpentine.

The world expert in multisensory perception on the remarkable ways we can use our senses to lead richer lives 'Talks total sense, lots of fun facts, right up there with the best of the best' Chris Evans 'Packed with studies on pain, attention, memory, mood' The Times How can the furniture in your home affect your wellbeing? What colour clothing will help you play sport better? And what simple trick will calm you after a tense day at work? In this revelatory book, pioneering and entertaining Oxford professor Charles Spence shows how our senses change how we think and feel, and how by 'hacking' them we can reduce stress, become more productive and be happier. We like to think of ourselves as rational beings, and yet it's the scent of expensive face cream that removes wrinkles (temporarily), a room actually feels warmer if you use a warmer paint colour, and the noise of the crowd really does affect the referee's decision. Understanding how our senses interact can produce incredible results. This is popular science at its unbelievable best. 'Spence does for the senses what Marie Kondo does for homes' Avery Gilbert, author of What the Nose Knows 'Everything you need to know about how to cope with the hidden sensory overload of modern life, engagingly told' Robin Dunbar, author of How Many Friends Does One Person Need?

Wine. The word calls to mind vineyards descending stark Spanish hills, vats lining Tuscan villages, fashionable singles crowding California tasting rooms. But anyone who hikes or bikes back roads in the Upper Midwest sees grapevines twining over fence posts and twisting up trees. Smooth, delicious wines are made from those grapes, and from the wild berries and cultivated fruits grown in the region. Wineries of Wisconsin and Minnesota is a user-friendly guide to fifty-five wineries, ranging from small family-farm operations to the largest, best-known wine producers. The book's centerpiece is a series of thirteen "wine trails" that paints a picture of each winery's setting and unique flavor and includes detailed information and maps for visiting the wineries. Author and wine expert Patricia Monaghan explores the colorful history of Wisconsin and Minnesota wines, including the geology and climate of the region; the history of Upper Midwest grape growing; the heritage of country wines; and the major wine regions in the area. Delightful sidebars feature tidbits of wine information, from recommended pairings of food and wine to unusual local wine lore. Patricia Monaghan , a member of the interdisciplinary faculty at DePaul University in Chicago, is the author of more than a dozen books. She and her husband grow northern grapes on their land in Black Earth, Wisconsin.

옥스퍼드 통합감각연구소 소장이 전하는 감각의 과학! 감각은 어떻게 우리의 생각과 기분을 뒤바꿔 놓을까? 우리는 감각의 힘을 너무 과소평가한다. 아니, 평소 감각에 대해 생각해본 적이 있기는 할까? 감각은 인간이 받아들이는 모든 정보를 처음 수용하는 기관이다. 그렇기 때문에 감각을 어떻게 활용하느냐에 따라서 우리의 생각과 기분은 놀랍도록 뒤바뀐다. 감각 연구의 세계적 권위자인 찰스 스펜스는 옥스퍼드대학교 통합감각연구소 소장으로, 20년 넘게 사람들이 어떻게 주변 세계를 인식하는지 연구해온 실험심리학자이다. 그는 이 책에서 감각 과학을 통해 알게 된 과학적 지식을 일상에 적용하면, 아주 작은 몇 가지 변화만으로도 더 건강하고 행복한 삶을 살 수 있다고 자신한다. 감각이 우리가 느끼는 모든 것에 걸쳐 있듯, 찰스 스펜스의 연구 주제도 엄청난 스펙트럼을 자랑한다. 그는 존슨앤존슨부터 유니레버, 듀럭스와 같은 세계적 기업들과 인간의 감각에 관한 다양한 협업 연구를 진행해왔고, ‘씹을 때 듣기 좋은 소리가 나는 과자가 더 맛있다고 믿게 된다’는 논문으로 이그노벨상을 받기도 했다. 다방면에 호기심이 많은 이 괴짜 과학자는 학문적으로 가치 있는 연구뿐 아니라, 어떤 이유로 중단할 수밖에 없었거나 아직 미지의 영역인 연구 주제에 대해서도 애정을 갖고 유쾌하게 소개한다. 그가 안내하는 새로운 감각의 세계를 따라가다 보면 우리의 일상을 둘러싸고 일어나는 모든 경험에서 감각이 어떤 힘을 발휘하는지, 그리고 우리가 그 힘을 어떻게 이용할 수 있을지 깨닫게 될 것이다.
