Noble Rot, Cosmic Chardonnay - Issue #28

Noble Rot Issue #28, Cosmic Chardonnay, is a print magazine on wine, food and culture, published in London.

Piedmont takes up much of this one: a survey of the newer winemakers and domaines working there, plus a portrait of Gattinara in Alto Piemonte, where Nebbiolo grows on volcanic ground well north of Barolo. Dan Keeling also heads to Champagne for the Côteaux Champenois and its still wines. Professor Brian Cox moves between curved spacetime and his liking for Chardonnay, and John Cooper Clarke takes Suzanne Moore out for a very long lunch. The New Food and Wine Dictionary returns with entries from Brian Eno and Angela Hartnett, while John Niven reports on eating in Los Angeles.

Chardonnay drinkers and Piedmont obsessives get the most out of this issue. Putting a physicist next to a wine column is the kind of thing the title does without blinking, which makes it a fair test of whether the magazine is for you.
