What a nice well put together book., April 28, 2009
This review is from: The Grapes of Wine (Hardcover)
This book is 182 pages of high gloss pages, beautiful photography, and lots of visual stimulation. The book is just well put together and covers the art of making wine, their history, growing grapes, and then wine production. The book then moves onto all the grapes of the world. It covers many, many white grapes, their aromas, their characteristics and then moves onto reds and covers the same.
The book then moves into wine tastings, these are not your at home wine tastings with buddies this is if you were setting up a professional wine tasting for others. It covers wine service so if you're a professional bartender then this information is for you. There are a couple of pages of wine and food pairings but nothing substantial.
This book is a beautiful layout and would make a very nice gift because it's so visually appealing. There are lots of maps of wine growing regions and show the regions clearly. They are worth the price of this book alone.
