There is a saying among winemakers that "great wine begins with dirt." Beginning from this intriguing premise, The Winemaker's Dance embarks on an eye-opening exploration of "terroir" in one of the greatest places on earth to grow wine—California's Napa Valley. Jonathan Swinchatt and David G. Howell weave a tale that begins millions of years ago with the clash of continental plates that created the Napa Valley and go on to show how this small region, with its myriad microclimates, complex geologic history, and dedicated winemakers, came to produce world-class wines. A fascinating look at the art and science of winemaking and the only comprehensive book that covers Napa's geology, history, and environment, The Winemaker's Dance will help wine enthusiasts better understand wine talk and wine writing and, most importantly, wine itself. The Winemaker's Dance is animated by the voices of Napa's winemakers talking about their craft. The book also contains two driving tours through the valley that highlight the landscapes and wineries discussed. An array of unique illustrations—including shaded relief maps overlaid with color aerial photographs—provide a new and illuminating look at the region: its bedrock, sediments, soils, sun, wind, and rain. The expansive narrative considers how these elements influence wines from particular vineyards and how specific winemaking practices can bring out or mask aspects of terroir. It concludes with a discussion of the state of the winemaking industry today. Unraveling the complex relationship between the people, the earth, and the vines of Napa Valley, The Winemaker's Dance brings the elusive concept of terroir to a broad audience, adding a vibrant dimension to the experience of the valley's wines. It also provides insights that enhance our understanding of wines and winegrowing regions the world over.

The popularity of natural wine has taken the food and wine world by storm, and in this book, co-author Stephanie Mercier Voyer, chef David McMillan, wine importer Zev Rovine, and photographer Xavier Tera take readers on an immersive journey into the heart of natural winemaking. Part wine book, part cookbook, part road trip diary, Spilled: Stories & Recipes From Natural Winemakers brings readers beyond the vineyard and into the kitchens, cellars, and lives of 25 of the most influential natural winemakers in France and Italy. To truly understand natural wine, the authors knew they had to experience it firsthand. So they packed their bags and hit the road. From the limestone caves of the Loire to the sun-drenched hills of Sicily, they harvested grapes at dawn, slept in overbooked hotels and haunted castles, had kitchen dance parties, and stayed up late drinking, debating, and laughing. But no matter where the journey took them, each day ended the same way: gathered around a table, sharing meals and stories with the winemakers who are shaping the future of wine. The result is Spilled: Natural Winemakers Stories & Recipes—a book that blends intimate storytelling, evocative photography, and 34 home-cooked recipes straight from the winemakers’ tables. More than just a wine book or a cookbook, Spilled is a celebration of the human side of winemaking—the patience, passion, and occasional chaos behind every great bottle. The Winemakers and Their Recipes From simple countryside meals to deeply personal family dishes, these recipes capture the spirit of the natural wine world: unfiltered, vibrant, and meant to be shared. Highlights: Jean-Pierre Robinot’s French Veal Stew Kenjiro Kagami’s Nikujaga with Yuzu Kosho Athénaïs de Béru’s Whole Roasted Harvest Fish Patrick Bouju’s Braised Lamb Shank with Spelt Anders Frederik Steen & Anne Bruun Blauert’s Wild Mushroom Risotto Dario Prinčič’s Rabbit Biechi Elisabetta Foradori’s Zucchini Soup with Fresh Cheese Frank Cornelissen’s Tempura Artichoke Hearts Gabrio Bini’s Panelle with Spicy Caper Condiment

The body matters, in practice. How then might we think about the body in our work in and on professional practice, learning and education? What value is there in realising and articulating the notion of the professional practitioner as crucially embodied? Beyond that, what of conceiving of the professional practice field itself as a living corporate body? How is the body implicated in understanding and researching professional practice, learning and education? Body/Practice is an extensive volume dedicated to exploring these and related questions, philosophically and empirically. It constitutes a rare but much needed reframing of scholarship relating to professional practice and its relation with professional learning and professional education more generally. It takes bodies seriously, developing theoretical frameworks, offering detailed analyses from empirical studies, and opening up questions of representation. The book is organized into four parts: I. ‘Introducing the Body in Professional Practice, Learning and Education’; II. ‘Thinking with the Body in Professional Practice’; III. ‘The Body in Question in Health Professional Education and Practice’; IV. ‘Concluding Reflections’. It brings together researchers from a range of disciplinary and professional practice fields, including particular reference to Health and Education. Across fifteen chapters, the authors explore a broad range of issues and challenges with regard to corporeality, practice theory and philosophy, and professional education, providing an innovative, coherent and richly informed account of what it means to bring the body back in, with regard to professional education and beyond.

In Postmodern Winemaking, Clark Smith shares the extensive knowledge he has accumulated in engaging, humorous, and erudite essays that convey a new vision of the winemaker's craft--one that credits the crucial roles played by both science and art in the winemaking process. Smith, a leading innovator in red wine production techniques, explains how traditional enological education has led many winemakers astray--enabling them to create competent, consistent wines while putting exceptional wines of structure and mystery beyond their grasp. Great wines, he claims, demand a personal and creative engagement with many elements of the process. His lively exploration of the facets of postmodern winemaking, together with profiles of some of its practitioners, is both entertaining and enlightening.
