This Book is a Great Read November 13, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Women of Wine is well-written, informative, and witty. Ann Matsar has undertaken to tell the story of how women impact the male-dominated wine industry. In her introduction, Matsar says that people are astonished to discover a unique woman who has conquered age-old prejudices in order to become an exemplary winemaker, winery owner, or a sommelier. But this book is not about that one woman, rather, it pays homage to a growing number of women who wield power and influence within the wine industry. If you love wine - or even if you don't - you will love this book. I highly recommend it.

I was given "Women in Wine" as a gift from a friend who shares my love for wine literature. What a wonderful read! So many wine books are either fluff or dully academic. This is neither. "Women in Wine" is an informative book that you can curl up with in front of the fire. The stories of these remarkable women make `Women in Wine" a compelling read for just about anyone (not just the wine guy or gal). This is the only book I have ever read (or even heard about) with such a global perspective on women in the wine world. How refreshing to see past California for a change! I am going to order a few more copies of "Women in Wine" just to have around the house for those last minute holiday gifts that always seem to pop up. What a sensational find!
