Book Reviews of Riesling Renaissance (Mitchell Beazley Drink S.)
Book Review: A finely considered overview of riesling
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a beautifully written overview (192pp)of world Riesling production, with particular focus on German/Germanic production which many of still feel is the core of great Rieslings. The writer has been a noteworthy London-based merchant for almost 50 years, and his experience translates into gratifying narrative with many personal reminiscences; the small volume is greatly enhanced by superb graphics, including maps and first-class photos of the sites, architectural detail (such as the evocative 50 degree latitude marker among the vines at Schloss Johannisberg) and portraits of current owners.
While hardly comprehensive (such a volume remains to be written), it's an admirable and delightful snapshot of the vine today.
