Product Description
Mastering Wine for the Asian Palate provides a fresh new Asian perspective on the language of wine. Lee uses her wealth of wine knowledge to make wine communication more meaningful to a global audience where Asian ingredients, Asian cuisines and seasonings are an everyday part of reality. By introducing a range of thoughtfully chosen Asian descriptors in wine communication, Lee adds to the growing lexicon of wine.
This 168-page coffee table book includes a foreword by renowned chef and restaurateur, Joël Robuchon, and showcases Lee's understanding of both the rich culinary tradition of Asia and the complex world of wine. Mastering Wine is the culmination of the two loves in the author's life: Asian food and its ingredients and wine. The use of descriptors such as red dates, persimmons or gingko nuts to describe wine, instead of traditional descriptors such as blackcurrant, toast or vanilla, is an innovative approach that increases the reference points for wine in a truly global world.
This lavishly illustrated book filled with beautiful photographs and specially produced graphics is designed to appeal to both wine novices as well as wine experts. A photograph accompanies each Asian descriptor used. Nearly every major grape variety and the most popular wine styles found in Asia are covered in this book. In addition to the introduction of Asian descriptors, other useful information such as wine making, guide to wine tasting and understanding the wine label are included in separate chapters.
Mastering Wine is the second book of the two-part offering including Asian Palate, the author's award-winning book comprehensively delving into Asian food and wine pairings, looking at the regions' ten culinary capitals.
