Terroirist Rocks The Mad Crush
Holy smokes, Eric Annino writes a phenomenal review of The Mad Crush over at Terroirist, one of the coolest wine sites out there…
He writes: The Mad Crush is a pleasure to read. Part Thoreau, part Bourdain, it strikes a solid balance between poetic winespeak and countercultural intrigue. In a matter of pages, Weir can go from poignant statements like “Terroir is what elevates wine beyond a mere recipe or a commodity like a can of soup,” to calling the man who introduced the European Starling (a pesky bird in the vineyard) to North America a “pretentious assclown.”
His conclusion: If I were looking for an excuse to take a weekend sabbatical from my smartphone, I would immediately use my smartphone to order The Mad Crush. Unpretentious, fun, and only 150 pages long, it is a book for everyone.
