 Great stuff but very dated May 13, 2005
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I greatly enjoyed this book, but found that the author dwelled a bit too much on facts about where and how much each grape variety is grown, and much of the data is from a 1979 census which doesn't seem too relevant now. Also, the information on Spain is very out of date as it is only in the last 15 years or so that Spain has got its wine act together. Apart from that, very recommended as no other book I have seen covers this subject so extensively and so well.
 A great reference book from the best wine author of her time March 13, 2001

Without a doubt this is by far the most comprehensive guide to wine grapes available. Every grape you will ever encounter in you wine drinking life, (and many more you won't), will be included here with a detailed entry and the major varieties are discussed at great length. Better still this is all done with the upmost clarity and without the pretentiousness which often accompanies less gifted authors on the subject of wine.
