The third instalment of Iza Kamińska’s “Wild Yeasts” series – “Stories of Polish Wine” – is now available for pre-order. Presented as an album-style narrative devoted exclusively to domestic winemaking, it is also one of the most valuable publications introducing the people, places and history of Polish vineyards.
The author gives the floor to people who create and promote Polish wine – both recognised figures in the industry and winemakers at the beginning of their journey. The twenty chapters can be read in sequence or independently. Kamińska does not create a catalogue of producers or review wines; instead, she gathers often personal stories that form a picture of contemporary Polish winemaking. The book also recalls the historical and cultural background of wine in the lands of present-day Poland.
The third instalment of the series
The series began with “Wild Yeasts: Stories of Wine” – a collection of 17 stories showing wine in the context of culture, history, politics, economics and nature. It was followed by “Wild Yeasts: Stories from Another Barrel”. The new instalment focuses entirely on Poland: from vineyards spanning several dozen hectares to small plantings, and from well-known names to new voices in the industry.
“Stories of Polish Wine” will be published in hardback, with photographs of Polish vineyards. A digital PDF version will also be available.
