Caroline Gilby MW (1992) worked as a wine buyer for 7 years before starting her own business as a consultant and freelance wine writer in 1995. She writes for Decanter, Harpers and The Drinks Business, as well as Hugh Johnson’s Pocket Wine Book, The Wine Opus, Oxford Companion to Wine and Wines of the world. She judges regularly at international wine competitions including Decanter’s World Wine Awards and has lectured for the WSET at Diploma level and for OIV’s MSc in Wine Management.
This is an inspirational book, dealing with all aspects of
winemaking in these three countries and inciting us all to try the
wines and visit the countries. In fact, I’m off to Romania later
this month – to do just that!
*Colin Harkness on Wine*
Let me recommend Caroline Gilby’s new book. The stories she tells
... are fascinating. She writes with style and authority. I’m very
impressed.
*The Wine Economist*
One of the most unflinchingly honest wine books I have ever read.
This is the kind of book that can be written only by someone who
has worked with the regions for 30 years, cares deeply about them,
wants to see them thrive, but also sees and has the courage to
point out what is wrong. She is not afraid to be critical … but at
no point do you get a sense of someone trying to expose
vulnerabilities for a good storyline. Instead, everything about the
book reads a bit like tough love. Gilby has the piercing insight of
someone with a scientist's brain and a mother's heart.
