A splendid image -- and an incredible aid to learning
By Robert C Ross
Steve DeLong and his company have come up with another winner for wine lovers: a map of wine organized like a subway map showing the leading wine regions of France.
The map was created by Dr. David Gissen, an architectural theorist whose publications (including a blog, and Subnature: Architecture's Other Environments), explore unusual aspects of urban nature. While working on other projects, he explored French wines as he describes in a wonderful interview on the Edible Geography website [link in the first Comment].
He was initially confused the complexity of French wines, the impractical advice he received to meet with the winemakers, and the literal nature of wine maps. He believed it would be easier to grasp "ideas and principles about French wine if you used a visual language that was relational and condensed. To me, that means the language of the subway map."
Gissen describes two of his major discoveries using this approach:
"One thing I only learned through making the map was that all the "lines," with just a few exceptions, follow rivers or coastlines. You would not necessarily understand, by looking at a normal French wine map, the absolute centrality of the rivers, which are the routes that the Greeks and Romans used as they were moving through France and planting vines.
"Some of the rivers also connect regions. For example, you can see how the Burgundy and Rh�ne regions are connected through river systems. Another thing I didn't know before doing my map, which would be so obvious to someone who knew a lot about wine, is a lot of the South West region's most famous wines extend along the river that connect it to Bordeaux. The map shows that connection, up the Garonne or the Dordogne into central Bordeaux."
The final version of his map makes both of th0se points wonderfully clear. And, it also makes another important historical point. Wine lovers know that Bordeaux was for many, many years heavily favored among wine lovers in London, while the wines of Burgundy and the Rhone were favored in Paris. Hugh Johnson's the Story of Wine traces these histories in very readable detail; one can see the great benefits water transportation had for carrying Bordeaux wines to England by ship and Burgundies and Rhone wines by barge to Paris.
It is well worth studying this map in greater detail; there are other connections that will become clear -- how various varieties are distributed, for example -- and there are many details to criticize -- all varieties are treated equally, for example.
Whatever your reaction, I agree with Gissen: "Nonetheless, although this map is just sort of fun, you can also learn a lot about wine from it. But I don't even care if people use it that way -- what I love about it is that it pulls wine into the language of cities and urban life."
Best of all, this beautiful map will fit into a standard 18x24 inch frame. Enjoy and learn!

Nice goods but, arrived slightly damaged
By Donald J. Kochan
Beautiful posters which came as described BUT, the posters and book ( I purchased a similar poster of California and a sommelier book as well) all came slightly damaged. The posters were each packed in a sturdy cardboard packing cylinder yet, each was slightly bent/crumpled near the corners. Not what you want to see if your framing them in a "floating frame" and giving them as a gift! The poster packaging cylinders arrived consolidated in a larger box that included the book. The cylinders were completely unharmed. "Ergo", they must have been damaged in the packaging process. Similarly and disturbingly, the book was placed inside the larger box completely unprotected. Of course, the book also came slightly damaged as the items were completely free to shift during shipping. Another imperfect gift to give to the same person. A packaging "hat trick" as it were. You'd think Amazon would have figured out by now how to properly ship posters and books by now. Maybe a cheap protective sleeve for the book at least. C'mon Amazon! Free shipping shouldn't mean careless packaging. Without that, I was completely satisfied with the items themselves. Otherwise, too late in the holiday season to return!

Map was fin - but crumpled
By Flemming Gyldenhammer
The deliver time was great but when I unpacked the poster it came out with a crumpled corner - which was to little to claim and then again annoying to look at.
