Synopsis

`If we have any interest in wine and in flavours, we have to be interested in the grape variety itself. If we have any interest in how a wine matures and changes with age, we have to know about the potential of the particular grape. If we care about the style of a wine, whether it should be sweet or dry, fizzy or fortified or still, each different grape variety's peculiar talents will be of prime importance.'-Oz Clarke
