Hardback, 2006, 191pages, very good condition

Known for his irreverent and witty writing style, Malcolm Gluck has been at the cutting edge of the explosion of the New World wine scene. Taking a tour around Australia, California, New Zealand, and South Africa Gluck covers over sixty regions and features more than 150 exclusive colour photographs taken on his travels to these areas. Gluck enlightens the reader on why the wines taste the way do and he introduces the personalities behind the wines and describes the places, lifestyles, and cultures of the names that can be found on wine store shelves around the world today. He also reveals the winemakers' passion for the vines, the land, and the wine, to argue that in these areas the soul of the winemaker is more important than the soil in the vineyard. Useful checklists are also included giving details of all the wineries that are covered in the book.
