Noble Rot, Beyond the Pale - Issue #41

Noble Rot returns with its most far-reaching issue to date: a celebration of wine, food, travel and the pleasures of getting gloriously lost. 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 Gloucestershire and Highbury Corner. At 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.

In this Unmissable Issue:

• Lily Allen returns to Noble Rot 13 years after first appearing in Issue 3, contributing My Greatest Meal.
• Marina O’Loughlin joins comedian and filmmaker Aziz Ansari for a lunch at Otto’s, where they discuss natural wine, filmmaking, and stepping away from online life.
• Tim Spector appears in a dinner feature at Trullo, making the case for fermentation and pleasure in food.
• A tasting that follows rosé’s journey from retro curiosity to a serious wine category.
• Stopping in with cult Japanese vigneron Takahiko Soga on the wild coast of Hokkaido.
• Plus stories and recipes celebrating Comando G’s influence on Argentine wine, Portugal’s Bairrada and Douro Valley regions, Athens’ thriving food and wine culture and dishes that chefs loved creating but that no one ordered.
