Customer Review: Nice stories, not much to learn
I bought this book for my MW studies, and it is worth reading mostly because it gives an idea of what the contributors consider important in the wine world. I didn't find that many useful examples though, and would rather spend my money on a few issues of any of the trade magazines available for a accurate and up-to-date picture of the wine business.
