Women & wine - A natural November 18, 2008
Bought the book for my wine snob wife. She's lovin' it. I'll read when she's finished.

This book is very informational. It is a summary of the history of woman in the wine industry, specifically wine making. It describes the Old and New Worlds of wine and their influence on each other.

This book comes amidst wine's impressive surge in popularity in recent years. It's a candid look at the inner-workings of the wine industry and the previously unrecognized emergence of women as major role-players. Matasar has fittingly chosen to tell this story through very personal recollections of a veritable who's who of the pre-eminent women in wine in the world today.
A fascinating read.

I'm no wine connoisseur, but after reading Women of Wine, I have a much better understanding of the industry and the people who shape it. This book provides excellent dinner conversation.

As a business woman and wine enthusiast, I found "Women of Wine" a facinating, insightful, thought-provoking examination of women in the wine industry. Ann Matasar respectfully presents their stories, identifies the obstacles they have had to overcome, and highlights their achievements and contributions. She takes a global perspective which makes the book all the more interesting and comprehensive. With the holidays upon us, "Women of Wine" makes a great gift for men and women who appreciate wine.
