An excellent book, along the model of other international wine guides, with details on wineries, reviews of wines and complete honesty on the part of the author. Some really fine wines from Israel and finally a book that describes them.

Daniel Rogov's book puts Israeli wines where they should be - as interesting to all wine lovers. Better yet, the book is completely professional, as interesting and competently written as those of Hugh Johnson, Oz Clarke and Robert Parker. Worth reading for every lover of wine and for those with a special connection to Israel. My rating - tops!!

I have been drinking Israeli wines for many years. Neverhave they been as good as they are now,and finally a book that will help us separate the wheat from the chaff. Daniel Rogov seems like a thoroughly honest critic and his comments and tasting notes are not merely ego-trips but genuinely useful. Just enough about the history and technical details and lots and lots of easy to read tasting notes. This one goes with me to the stores every time I want to buy wines.

Good wines deserve a good book. Israeli wines are improving every year and this book makes a great guide to them. No nonsense reviews and good history, background. Good reading and good for shopping.
