Welcome to Book Club and Episode 2184 of the Italian Wine Podcast with Richard Hough. Today Richard is in conversation with the award-winning wine writer Tamlyn Currin, senior editor and writer for JancisRobinson.com.
Every year Tamlyn reads and reviews hundreds of wine books for JancisRobinson.com and this year she has selected five of the best for the Italian Wine Podcast.
As well as her top 5 wine books for 2024, the conversation also covers, amongst other things, the Japanese concept of Tsundoku (having more books than you can read), the Italian taste for bitterness, the Armenian genocide and the perils of ordering in France.
The Italian Wine Podcast Top 5 wine books of 2024 as selected by Tamlyn Currin are:
- A Season for That by Steve Hoffman
- One Thousand Vines by Pascaline Lepeltier
- Who’s Afraid of Romanée Conti by Dan Keeling
- Wine Confident by Kelli A White
- Natural Wine, No Drama by Honey Spencer
