259. The White Wine Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide by Godfrey Spence (MCO book #5)

BOOK REVIEW: The White Wine Companion - A Connoisseur's Guide by Godfrey Spence

No tipsy readers were involved in the reading and reviewing of this book! Haha! The MCO has me reading this from book end to book end to further feed my curiosity on wines.

Written comprehensively, this is an authoritative directory of the world's top white wines. Provided are expert notes on tasting, serving and storing white wine in optimal conditions.

The author goes to great lengths to explore the vineyards of the world - from the Rhône to the Napa Valley, the Mosel to the Stellenbosch. A select directory of the best wine producers are included.

Tasting notes on a featured white wine from each producer such as berry notes and oak flavours are deeply featured in this informative tome.

A pleasure to read with exceptional pictures of the bottles, labels and vineyards, I feel I have gained an appreciation on white wines as they are seldom given the love needed compared to the bold red wines. This book makes a wonderful gift for those who are into enology or are just interested in the subtleties of wine.
