Noble Rot Magazine Issue 38 tackles one of fine wine’s biggest barriers: its exclusivity and cost. This edition’s highlight, “The Wines They Don’t Want You to Know,” features top sommeliers, chefs, and writers sharing their favorite undervalued bottles, offering readers access to exceptional wines from regions like Rueda, Muscadet, Itata Valley, and Gers. The issue also explores simple culinary pleasures, from Felicity Cloake’s praise of salt to Simon Hopkinson’s celebration of eggs, alongside profiles of Basque Txakoli, Chianti Classico, and Rioja producers. Additional features include insights on house wine, leisurely lunches, and global wine scenes, all curated with expert insight.
