Along the journey, Gluck discusses “Soul and Soil,” the two key elements that go into creating delicious wine, and provides enlightening explanations on why the wines taste the way they do. He also introduces the major personalities behind the vintages, revealing the winemakers’ passion for the vines, the land, and the product they lovingly produce. More than 150 of the author’s photos show the most fascinating places—all English-speaking—with snapshots of owners who are happy to entertain guests.

This book made me angry! Gluck was talking a lot on how the wines he chose were better than Sancerre or any other old world wine.... constantly! the information besides this was good to know and it kind of educated me more on the new world wines, but I would not read this if I were you.
