Product Description

If you plan to visit Germany's beautiful wine country in person or take an imaginary trip there, you will find this book a valuable guide to the individual estates and their specialties. Wine technology is carefully explained, but Dr. Ambrosi's descriptions will capture your imagination with stories of the estates and their monastic, aristocratic proprietors, the vineyards in their idyllic settings, the estate buildings, the castles, the mansions, the old cellars and the fine wines themselves. This book stands out among wine books with its clear systematic presentation of a vast quantity of detailed information. When you decide to visit, you will know what to see, what to taste, and how to get there. Whether or not you have ever been in a wine cellar, you will soon learn about your favorite wines, look up the estates where they were produced, and with pen-and-ink vignettes, maps, and reproductions of many labels, be able to imagine yourself visiting the picturesque estates, tasting the wines, and hearing the family histories of the great wine growers and vineyard owners.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dated, but a Classic, July 10, 2007
I own the original, German version of this book ("Wo große Weine wachsen", I think it's called--circa 1974.) I am glad to have this book because it's a classic in its field, but quite dated. It contains considerable information for a few well-known and high-quality wine estates in Germany, as they were then, and is good to have as a reference. It's possible that the information has been updated in the English version, which I have not seen.
