How did Chardonnay become the most popular white grape variety in the world? Award-winning author Dave Broom—honored as the Glenfiddich Drinks Writer of the Year—charts its evolution, covering where the grape grows and why; who the top winemakers are; how to buy, serve, and store the wine; and what food goes well with it. He provides an international perspective, looking not only at the traditional producing countries in Europe (France, Italy, and Spain), but also at Australia, New Zealand, North and South America, South Africa, and wherever else in the world the wine is found.
Dave Broom is the co-author of the Glenfiddich award-winning Drink!, Handbook of Whisky, Spirits & Cocktails, and The Connoisseur's Guide to Whisky. He is a contributing editor to Whisky Magazine, Scotland magazine, and Wine. He regularly contributes to the Daily Telegraph on Saturday, BBC Good Food, Wine & Spirit International, and Food & Travel.
