Chateau Monty: A Corking Wine Adventure

Note: This is a hardcover book in excellent condition.  The very outer edges of the book show a few foxing spots but nothing serious and nothing that affects the reading experience.  The spine is strong and the pages are bright. 

Top wine critic and author Monty Waldin has decided to put his money where his mouth is and embark on a daring new venture: making wine biodynamically in rural France. With just over a year to transform 4 hectares into a top-selling organic vineyard, Monty renovates an old cabin on his land to live in, dedicating himself to his vines 24/7. His only constant companion is his donkey, though his high-maintenance girlfriend Silvana occasionally jets in from Italy.

Often viewed as eccentric due to his strong advocacy for Biodynamics, Monty has earned a reputation as the enfant terrible of the wine world, challenging the establishment with his harsh criticisms. Despite this, he has forged a successful career, penning several award-winning books. Now, he leaves behind the life of a critic to embrace the hands-on challenge of creating his own wine in the picturesque French Pyrenees.
