A wine lover’s tour around the globe in conversation with Ray Isle (Will Rice, ’85) at the Cornell Club!So much of today’s wine is mass-produced, industrially farmed, corporate-owned, and essentially, ordinary. In The World in a Wineglass, Ray Isle (Will Rice, ’85) explains that the way a wine is made, and who made it, can make a huge difference when you drink it—and why that information matters much more than knowing it scored 90 points. Isle’s book takes us on a tour of several hundred independently owned wineries around the world. Isle’s enthusiasm for the grape growers and winemakers who are working sustainably or organically shines through as he shares his love for the way a glass of wine can express the place it comes from and capture the essence of the person who made it. Focusing on wines people can afford, rather than $500 rarities, Isle shows us where and how to find the most interesting bottles out there today.
The event will feature a conversation and guided tasting of four wines from producers featured in Isle’s book: Champagne Louis Roederer (France), Castello di Monsanto (Italy), Kumeu River (New Zealand), and Tablas Creek Vineyard (California).
The event will be moderated by wine writer Wanda Mann, founder of Wine With Wanda and East Coast Editor at The SOMM Journal. Wanda’s writing has been published in Food & Wine and she has been a presenter at the Food & Wine Classic in Aspen, the Women in Wine Leadership Symposium, the Charleston Wine + Food Festival, and the Nantucket Wine & Food Festival.
Copies of The World in a Wineglass will be available for sale and signing at the event.
