The book is not one of dry facts; instead, it delves into the history of grapes and the inner workings of vineyards; plus, with acute accuracy, it discusses the role of Malbec and the many regions of Mendoza where it is harvested.

A good read, accompanied by a glass of Malbec, the book is organized into sections that address timelines, historical facts, and hands-on experiences the two authors shared. H
