Take the guesswork out of great wine with Noble Rot’s Dan Keeling. Wine can be daunting without an insightful guide. Who’s Afraid of Romanée-Conti? is an unreserved journey of discovery, from finding good affordable wines to tasting the most elusive and revered – Romanée-Conti – and exploring the universe of stellar wines in between.

From modern Burgundy, Barolo, and Champagne to Tenerife, Corsica, and Chianti, Noble Rot co-founder Dan Keeling visits some of the world’s most famous vineyards and winemakers in search of why certain wines matter – and why many others don’t. Throughout, he explains the complex aspects of traditional wine culture, providing insights into topics such as sulfites in winemaking, building a wine cellar, and offering many personal recommendations for every budget. It’s about wine – but not as you know it.
