Book Reviews of The Wines of Spain (Classic Wine Library)

Book Review: Literate, useful and wise
Summary: 5 Stars

This is an eminently readable book that's especially important these days as Spanish wines increase their market share due to their great value/price ratio. (You get a lot of wine for your euro-battered dollar). Jeffs is a good writer, his prose is lucid and his take on the subject is interesting. I have also found his tasting notes to be reliable.
It is true that the maps are below the standard that has been set in other wine books, but let us consider that a minor flaw like Barabara Walters' lisp or Steve Carlton's lack of a move to first base. Take your copy to the wine shop and you'll save the cover price on the first trip.

Summary of The Wines of Spain (Classic Wine Library)

Spain?s winemaking tradition is as old as France?s, yet it is evolving in new directions even faster than its Gallic rival. Major producers from well-known wine estates as well as small wine-producing bodegas from dozens of regions?including Catalonia, Aragón, Navarra, the Levant, Andalucia, and the Islands?are introduced here. All the entries receive a full description of their climate, soil, landscape, grapes, plantings, authorized yields, wines, and vintages. Fourteen detailed maps of winemaking regions are accompanied by addresses for touring and websites for ordering. Also helpful are the clarifications of confusions caused by interchangeable use of Spanish and French terms.
