Dan Keeling’s new ‘Pick Your Bottles’, published 10th November, is now on sale in the Noble Rot restaurants📚
We’re thrilled to share that it has been shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year, the first drinks book ever to make the shortlist 🙌
“I wrote the book with two of my best friends, Alex and Mike, in mind. They both love w**e but don’t want to spend a fortune or be lectured at. So I asked them what they actually wanted to know. Mike, who reaches for Whispering Angel every summer, wanted a way past the obvious brands to something more interesting without the homework. Alex just wanted to walk into a w**e shop and know what to buy. That, more or less, became the book.
A hundred bottles, from an Artuke Rioja I still can’t believe is £15 to a Rinaldi Langhe Nebbiolo worth spending a little more on, each with something to cook alongside it and a few words on why I love it. Enough, I hope, that Alex and Mike could recommend any of them to their own friends.”
