There are few greater pleasures in life than enjoying a wonderful glass of wine. So why does finding and choosing one you like seem so stressful? Now, becoming a happier, more confident wine drinker is easy. The first step is to forget all the useless, needlessly complicated stuff the “experts” have been telling you. In The New Wine Rules, acclaimed wine writer Jon Bonné explains everything you need to know in simple, beautifully illustrated, easy-to-digest tidbits. And the news is good!

We are living in times where the issue of identity and difference has taken on a more defensive hue. The tide is turning towards an inward-looking nostalgia of sameness based on fear rather than on understanding. The experience of hearing another language, the way it is spoken, and being faced with the image of the other is now more complex, imbued with projections of powerlessness, fear, terrorism, and survival. The issue of identity appears to have become even more complex. All cultures are concerned with how we speak and communicate as this represents identity, history, and home. Communication is also essential for survival, both emotionally and socially. The speaking person is an individ...

Ce que vous trouverez dans les écrits de cet auteur sont des messages très importants qui nous ont été donnés d'abord par Jésus, souvent ignorés par les églises chrétiennes et contrariés par un imposteur, supposément un apôtre envoyé de Jésus. Jésus dirigeait les êtres humains vers Dieu, son Père et cet auteur fait la même chose. Des milliers de personnes ont une peur terrible de la fin du monde alors que cette dernière servira à delivrer les enfants de Dieu de la déchéance causé par la bête. Ce sont ceux qui désobéissent à Dieu qui devraient avoir peur, tous ceux qui ont péché. Les autres, les enfants de Dieu devraient avoir hâte que la délivrance arrive, ils devraient avoir hâte que le mille ans du règne de la parole de Dieu commence. C'est sûr qu'il nous faudra passer par les tribulations auparavant, mais une chose est certaine pour moi, j'ai très hâte que le mal soit éliminé, que le diable soit enchainé. La vérité nous ouvre les portes du royaume des cieux.
A comprehensive guide to the must-know wines and producers of California's "new generation," and the story of the iconoclastic young winemakers who have changed the face of California viniculture in recent years. The New California Wine is the untold story of the California wine industry: the young, innovative producers who are rewriting the rules of contemporary winemaking; their quest to express the uniqueness of California terroir; and the continuing battle to move the state away from the overly-technocratic, reactionary practices of its recent past. Jon Bonné writes from the front lines of the California wine revolution, where he has access to the fascinating stories, philosophies, and techniques of top producers. Part narrative, part authoritative purchasing reference, The New California Wine is a necessary addition to any wine lover's bookshelf.
