‘A complete yet concise, politely opinionated guide to this region and its captivating wines and food.’
Eric Asimov, The New York Times

‘The quixotic wines of France’s Jura are increasing the darlings of global tastemakers, thus in great need of a good resource. Wink Lorch provides that, an indispensable reference.’
Jon Bonné, San Francisco Chronicle

A book that uncovers the mystery and myriad styles of the Jura wine region and its wines, which have caught the imagination of wine lovers worldwide. Wink includes insight into the region’s history and culture, unravels the complications of this tiny wine region, and shares often untold stories of over 90 wine producers from the smallest to the largest. Local food and travel tips are a bonus. Wink has been a writer and educator on wine for many years, and her books appeal to wine professionals and wine lovers alike. Living partly in the French Alps, only a couple of hours from the Jura region, she has written about the region’s wine, food and tourism for many international magazines and books.
