 This book appeals to wine makers as well as enthusiasts. October 28, 1998
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
While this book will appeal to a broad audience of wine lovers, it will also have a special appeal to a narrower audience of wine makers. I count myself in both categories, so I'll offer two examples of this fine book's appeal: As a wine enthusiast, I discovered that New Zealand and South Africa are making wonderful Sauvignon Blanc. As a winemaker, I learned more about how Bordeaux winemakers derive the classic balance between approachable flavor and aging potential; and how the Australians use barrel fermentation of red wines to tame the assertive characteristics of their Shiraz. This is a MUST read for oenophiles!
 Lovely coffee-table book February 12, 1997

This is a coffee-table book, but a very good one indeed, in largish format with glossy paper, excellent color photography, and Johnson's workmanlike prose as he interviews some of the greatest wine makers around the world
