Book Reviews of Liquid Memory: Why Wine Matters
Book Review: Come on Guys!
Summary: 4 Stars
I think you are being too hard on him. First off, it is a somewhat memoir type book of his journey through the wine world. I never sensed that he was being bombastic and arrogant in doing so, but that is the way he feels that he wanted to convey his points. Others do it their own way, but does this take away from the premise of the book: That the wine world is fu$%ed on so many levels and who is to blame? I dont think it does and he makes his points rather well in good solid writing with lots of detail. He does name drop a bit but I don't think that should make a difference.
Overall, a good read and definitely the best book to date on wine and globalization.
