Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-30 00:00:00 Tracy Nowik I read this book before my vacation in the Douro valley. The historical narration is interesting and very detailed. I learned so much and it was nice to know how the history of Portugal and the landscape influenced the production and development of Port wine. If you enjoy Port, this book is a must read. I received a free copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

Review # 2 was written on 2014-01-31 00:00:00 Annette Raab Is it appropriate to use the word "exegesis" when discussing wine? I hope it is, because that is exactly what Richard Mayson did in this book. Without taking the annoying tone easily found in wine magazines (or at the Grog Shoppe for that matter), he provides a thorough look at the history, grapes, and production methods that make this prized wine what it is today.
