This review is from: The Wines of Argentina, Chile and Latin America (Paperback)
This book, published by Faber & Faber, is poorly structured and edited-not up to the usually high F&F standard. Christopher Fielden has provided a prodigious quantity of words, dutifully arranged in sentences and paragraphs. The effect on the reader who might be looking for useful, accessible and specific information on the wine regions, wine houses and vintages of the important producers of Latin America is wearing. The index is next-to-useless,skim-reading is the only way to track down a wine or producer of interest. There appears to be no addressal of vintners, as opposed to growers who produce their own wines. For Chile, I recommend Hubrecht Duijker's Wines of Chile. It is both accessible, accurate in content and well-written.
