Noble Rot, The Wine Traveller’s Guide to Getting It Right - Issue #40

Noble Rot's The Wine Traveller's Guide to Getting It Right, Issue #40, is a print magazine of wine, food and culture published in March 2026.

Visiting wine regions is the subject, and specifically the timing of it. Levi Dalton sets out when not to turn up — the weeks when barrel samples mislead, cellars are flat out and a tasting quietly tells you less than nothing — while winemakers, critics and restaurateurs give up their own local addresses along the way. Dan Keeling sits through a Clos de Tart tasting spanning 136 years, then argues that Langhe Nebbiolo may be the best value red appellation in the world. Jesse Armstrong writes about a cheese sandwich, and Simon J Woolf tackles aeroplane wine.

Anyone booking a trip to Burgundy, Piedmont or the Rhône should read Dalton before the flights. The Langhe Nebbiolo argument is the one that will cost you money, and the Fallow interview will interest people who follow restaurants as a business.
