Reviews

From the reviews:“This is one of the most interesting books about geography I have read. The story of wine serves to draw the reader into the text and even deeper into the understanding of the influences that geography can play on wine production. … The Geography of Wine: Regions, Terroir and Techniques is well researched and includes much detail about wine and geography. If you know little or a lot about wine, this book will be interesting and well worth the read … .” (Jeff Thurston, 3D Visualization World Magazine, 3dvisworld.com, October, 2012)
