“In order to appeal to a younger au-

Reference book shows how wine world keeps changing

By Dave McIntyre
The Washington Post

“Wine is the one thing we buy to eat or

drink where we can tell just from looking at

the label exactly which spot on the globe pro-

duced it,” says British wine writer Jancis Rob-

inson. “And if we look at the vintage – when;

and at the name of the producer – who. It’s

geography in a bottle.”

Geography needs an atlas. And because

wine’s geography is changing dramati-

cally, as the wine world’s reach expands

with advances in viticulture and changes

in climate, it’s time for “The World Atlas of

Wine, 8th Edition” (Mitchell Beazley, Oc-

tober 2019, $65), written by Robinson and

Hugh Johnson.

This is an authoritative reference wine

lovers will want to explore, even if they have

invested in previous editions.

That description of wine’s mystique, a

large part of its appeal to romantics and po-

ets throughout the centuries, was uttered by

Robinson in an interview with me last month

at an event hosted by the Smithsonian As-

sociates. Robinson has taken over primary

authorship of the atlas since she joined its

masthead with the fifth edition. In our con-

versation, she described how this is the most

dramatic revision yet.

Wine lovers scrutinize each new version

for regions receiving recognition.

This year, British Columbia, Uruguay and

Brazil receive their own sections, and Israel

and Lebanon, lumped together in previous

editions, have solo roles. There is also more

specificity – the Napa Valley section has a

new part on the St. Helena area, and “Bur-

gundy keeps filling in,” Robinson said.

But the more remarkable changes reflect

trends that started before the 2013 edi-

tion but really

NORTH

HOW DOES OPENER REBID WITHOUT A FIT? 743

By Phillip Alder - Bridge Columnist 5

A popular saying goes, “If the facts don’t fit the theory, change the facts.” AKQ

At the bridge table, if you do not have a fit with partner, in fact you try to describe your hand WEST Q J 10 9 8 7
as accurately as possible, in terms of high-card strength and distribution. 92 EAST
J9762
After North opens one club, East overcalls one spade, South makes a negative double 86543 K Q 10 8 5
(promising four hearts) and West passes, North imagines that the uncontested auction K
started one club - one heart. Then, North would have rebid two clubs to show a minimum Q 10 4
hand with six clubs. This is no different. South, with his eye on game, jumps to three no-
trump. 92

West leads the spade nine. What happens after that? A63

South can see seven tricks: two spades, two hearts and three diamonds. So he needs to SOUTH
establish dummy’s club suit, which requires losing the lead twice. This is the rule: When you
have two tricks in the suit led and two high cards to dislodge, duck the first trick. Therefore, AJ6
if East puts up the spade queen at trick one, declarer underplays his six. Then, when South
takes the second trick and leads a club, West wins but does not have a spade to lead. AK83

If East remembers this rule, he will play the spade 10 (or eight) at trick one. Then the J 10 7
contract dies. South has to win with his jack and play a club, but West takes the trick with
the king and returns his second spade, setting up East’s suit while he, East, still has the club 542
ace as an entry.
Dealer: North; Vulnerable: East-West
When you hope to establish a suit, try to make the opponents use up their stoppers as
quickly as possible. The Bidding:
