This book is chock full of info about winemaking processes, regional laws and classifications, wine tasting and serving etiquette. It also contains a large section detailing the prominent grapes and types of wine grown in each winemaking country. Very recommended.

The only negative from my perspective is that editing could have improved the readability of the text somewhat.

An excellent book. Thought-provoking, and written in a style that's serious and direct and yet, accessible. While it was published forty years ago, I feel like all the issues she discusses are still with us. Hence it's continued pertinence.

Seems like a fascinating topic, and very relevant for our times.

Seems like an important read on my journey of self-discovery.

Heck yes. Right up my alley.

A 600+ page tour de force of historical fiction. A real education on the lives of immigrants from all over Asia and beyond during the tumultuous period of 1968-1977. Each year features a new cast, but they all revolve around the I Hotel in SF’s Chinatown. Wisened old timers mix with idealistic and determined twenty somethings, on a quest to protect what’s theirs in a land where the cards are stacked against them. Really engaging. An important read.
