It has become popular with crowdfunding for wine books (Jura, Champagne, aromas and what not). Is it because the publishers are hard to persuade, or that wine writers do not like to work with structured and commercial publishing? Now a new book about New Zealand wines is in the works. It is called Aotearoa Nouveaux: Postmodern New Zealand Wine. Behind the somewhat complicated title is Jules van Cruysen, a New Zealand wine writer and now also restaurant owner.
The book is (will be) a thorough introduction to the island country’s wines and a presentation of some seventy of Jules favourite producers. However, a little patience is required, the book is planned to come out in November. 2017. Support the crowdfunding project for the book on New Zealand’s wines here on Kickstarter (deadline April 20!).
If you are curious and interested in New Zealand wines then I should also mention that we are thinking of organising a wine tour to New Zealand, perhaps in 2017. Send us an email if this might be of interest to you so that we know that we’re not totally wrong on this project.
