Review: Great geology foundation to understand wine - I devoured this book in just 2 days. I am going to be honest, I work for the Oil and Gas industry and I have great foundations in terms of geology and sb surface understanding. So it was easy for me to read thru the book. What I wish the author had done that throughout the book, be more specific. On what are the different propertise of the soil and how do they finally affect the winds? You know, like make more clear correlations of how the air composition makes different effects in wine. Nevertheless, the book is very well written takes you through the very basic Concepts of geology, minerality t and composition, and it does outline and gives you very good examples on where you find those in different areas of the world, touches on the most important time wine, rejones, like Burundi and explains to you what you're reading, how is that being shown in that actual? Place So if you have visited these places, you will very easily relate on what he saying, great ook, definitely a must read. If you really want to understand how wine gets, it's presence or its character out of the soil and terroir, this is the book for you!
Review: Essential reading for serious wine geeks! - I have finished reading this for the first time, but it won’t be my last. I appreciate how he essentially starts at the beginning and explains how & why each step is important. I think this works for people with different levels of knowledge of wine or geology. He does a great job of disputing myths of minerality in wine without being mean about it & he finally shows how geology does influence wine taste. This is one of those books that quickly shows that it is essential reading.
