Very entertaining, witty, and wry writing. Expert recommendations.

The more and more I go back to this book as a reference point, I appreciate Freidrich's detail in describing each domain, whether the wines are to her liking or not. More wine books should be so casually written and easy to understand.

An absolute must-have for any wine lover or wine professional.
