Book Reviews of The Wines of the Northern Rh?ne

Book Review: Technical and Linear
Summary: 2 Stars

I just finished reading Kermit Lynch's Adventures on the Wine Route and was so enthralled by the chapter on the Rhone Valley that I searched for more books on the subject. I purchased Wines of the Northern Rhone, which has a foreward actually written by Kermit Lynch, but that's where the romance ended for me. Learmonth's writing style is nowhere nearly as engaging as Lynch's. If Lynch's writing is a sandwich with fresh ingredients slathered in homemade aioli, Learmonth is cafeteria boloney; dry and flavorless. The pages are filled with technical data including charts of rainfall in centimeters and dull reviews of the wines he's tasted that most of us can't afford.
