We are delighted to host Jancis Robinson, legendary wine writer, critic, and educator. 

Please, join us on Friday, October 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 on our mezzanine for an exceptional signing session regarding the new and expanded 9th Edition of the essential book: The World Atlas of Wine, by Hugh Johnson, Jancis Robinson, and Julia Harding.

Jancis has given us some of the best English-language wine writing of the last few decades on her website (Jancisrobinson.com), as the wine columnist at the Financial Times, and in indispensable books including “Wine Grapes” and “The Oxford Companion to Wine.”

But no wine book gets pulled off the shelf more often at Flatiron than The World Atlas of Wine.  If you care about wine and terroir (and if you can’t just jet off every time you want to learn about each new region firsthand) you need good maps. And these are the best maps. The new 9th Edition hasn’t just revised and updated all the existing maps, it’s added 18 new ones including Flatiron favorite regions like Côte des Bar, Valtellina, and Chianti Classico’s UGAs.

Of course, the Atlas is more than just a collection of maps. It offers an overview of the latest, and the most timeless, subjects in wine. From clear explainers on grapes, grape growing and terroir, winemaking, and even the history of wine, through wine in a changing climate, this book is an unparalleled resource. Experts keep it on-hand and use it nonstop, but it’s also the perfect book for the interested wine beginner (and how many of us started learning about wine).

We can’t wait to open some of our favorite wines with Jancis and talk about them with her. Because, needless to say, above and beyond her writing chops, Jancis is an insightful and passionate taster. We’re picking wines together that come right out of the new pages of her Atlas.

We hope you can join us for this exceptional event on Friday, October 9 from 5:30 to 7:30 on our mezzanine. Seating is limited. Tickets for this signing session are $35 which includes a $15 credit towards purchase of the Atlas. The World Atlas is $75 (or $60 with the credit).

Cancellations can be processed for a refund with at least 48 hours' notice before the start of class. See all our policies here.
