Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
In the fourth tape of the Jancis Robinson's Wine Course, Robinson tries to establish whether a wine can truly express a terroir, the taste and feeling of a particular location. This is done by traveling to Burgundy and to Napa Valley, where she explores the Pinot Noir and the Merlot grape varieties. Americans may be particularly amused by this tape, as Robinson extols the health benefits of wine, pooh-poohing the Surgeon General's warning and expressing disbelief at the (what she says are) exaggerated health warnings on the labels. She paints a rather staunch picture of the U.S., which should prove fun to most American viewers. Also discussed on this edition are organic wine growing and phylloxera, a tiny louse that destroyed many of California's fields. --Jenny Brown
