“Jamie Goode has expertly peeled the onion of wine biology and chemistry layer by layer in this carefully woven story of wine faults. There is as much to learn from this book about wine quality as wine faults, and the empirical observations and musings about the unknowns by the many winemakers quoted are fascinating. A great contribution to wine knowledge.”—Dr. Brian Croser AO, winemaker and owner of Tapanappa Wines

“When it comes to wine quality, the focus has always been on what makes a wine great. As a result, many wine professionals have little more than a basic understanding of what can make a wine less than great. In Flawless Dr. Jamie Goode flips this paradigm on its head with his trademark rigor, transforming “scary” scientific equations into highly accessible concepts to elucidate one of the most overlooked and misunderstood areas of wine quality. Flawless should be on the bookshelf of all ambitious and passionately curious wine professionals.”—Sam Harrop MW, winemaker and coauthor of Authentic Wine: Toward Natural and Sustainable Winemaking
