Issue 41, Beyond the Pale, journeys from Portugal to Georgia, Germany and Greece; from Afghanistan via New York City to Los Angeles and California; from Spain’s Gredos Mountains to Hokkaido, Gloucestershire and Highbury Corner.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its heart lies the belief that wine is never simply a drink, but a way of understanding places, people and cultures through what they grow, ferment and cook. Among the issue’s featured guests, Lily Allen returns to Noble Rot 13 years after first appearing in Issue 3’s ‘Too Cool for Wine School’, reflecting on hosting friends in ‘My Greatest Meal’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeanwhile, Contributing Editor Marina O’Loughlin joins actor, comedian and director Aziz Ansari for a long lunch at London’s Otto’s, where conversation moves between natural wine, filmmaking and leaving behind online life.

Beginning with Mateus Rosé — the enduring icon of 1970s dinner parties — and culminating in Valentini’s benchmark Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo, the tasting became an exploration of how rosé has evolved from kitsch curiosity to serious wine category (again).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElsewhere in Issue 41\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNoble Rot travels to Portugal’s Bairrada region in search of traditionally made wines; climbs the steep terraces of the Douro Valley with the growers redefining the region’s unfortified wines\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfiles California’s new generation of wine rebels and their improbable grape varieties\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVisits cult Japanese vigneron Takahiko Soga on the wild coast of Hokkaido.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExamines Comando G’s influence on Argentine wine \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGermany’s vertiginous vineyards\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA guide to Athens’ thriving food and wine culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIssue 41 also includes recipes for roast best end of lamb with creamed spinach and Georgian lamb chakapuli.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChefs Stephen Harris, Tomos Parry, Jeremy Chan and Jun Tanaka discussing the dishes they loved creating — but which nobody ordered\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJohn Niven administers more advice to gastronomically challenged readers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Different than Magma","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55591052444024,"sku":"x7091","price":14.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0285\/4760\/files\/AP-NR-41-COVER-760x1024.jpg?v=1782577733","url":"https:\/\/magma-shop.com\/products\/noble-rot-41","provider":"Magma","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
