Wine Tasting with Dan Keeling

If you've ever stood in a wine shop staring at rows of unfamiliar names...
If you've bought a bottle for its label and hoped for the best...
If you've suspected there are extraordinary wines out there but can't quite find them...

You're right. There are.

Pick Your Bottles is Noble Rot co-founder Dan Keeling's guide to discovering them - the wines he loves to recommend. His secret is simple: the most exciting wines come from growers you've never heard of, not brands you have.

Whether you're after something intriguing for friends or an easy-going bottle for a Sunday lunch that drifts into the afternoon, Dan will help you choose wines that are delicious, distinctive, and better value than you might expect.

Love rose? He'll take you beyond Whispering Angel to bottles with real character and none of the cliche. Across sparkling, whites, reds, and oranges, you'll sidestep predictable labels in favour of lesser-known treasures that won't punish your wallet. These are a friend's recommendations to help you pick better bottles.
