Review

"A book in the image of Port Wine, delicious." * Blend, The Online Wine Magazine * "Richard's tone remains down-to-earth despite his obvious authority and knowledge when it comes to this wine region. This is a book that offers much that is new and I'm delighted that I will be able to have it to hand when I next open a bottle." -- Chris Kissak * thewinedoctor.com * "The new edition of 2013 is far superior to all editions that have gone before and in my view is beyond any doubt 'The Bible of Port Wine'." * Books about Port * "The only book on port and the Douro worth having." * jancisrobinson.com *
