5.0 out of 5 stars
Definitive, comprehensive, informative, articulate.,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Port and the Douro (Faber Books on Wine) (Paperback)
Port And The Douro is the fascinating story of Port over the centuries and surveys the remarkable physical conditions of the wine growing region of Portugal, the grape varieties, and the vineyards that make the Douro valley so special. Richard Mayson draws upon his many years of experience in the wine trade in general and his remarkable expertise in Port wines and how they are made. Port And The Douro is definitive, comprehensive, informative, articulate, and greatly rewarding reading for connoisseurs, dealers, and the nonspecialist general reader seeking to select just the right Port for the occasion.

This review is from: Port and the Douro (Classic Wine Library) (Hardcover)
Gave this book to a good friend who has formed a circle of fellow connoisseurs of port wine. I read enough of the book to know that it contains some interesting background on the particularities of this specialty product and its history. Definitely not for the general audience, but appropriate for the aficionado. Good source for rare and out of print books.
