Masterly wine social/geohistory July 27, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Accessible yet meticulously researched and articulated social and geohistory of the distinctions and similarities between the two most famous fine wine regions in the world, Pitte's story is the Picasso/Matisse of wine books. Pitte knows his history and he knows his wines, and he is not frightened of applying tough surgery to some of the most widely shared wine mythology. His brief, opinionated, compelling narrative outlines how the two regions developed their different ownership, production, supply chains and intellectual temperaments; and it is surprising somehow that such a brief but compelling history has not been published before. Masterly.
