Ratings and reviews

It's not worth a buck to me considering I can read a webpage that has just about the same quantity and quality of information. But the information is good, so if you don't like Google, then buy this insanely short read.

Interesting, informative short read. Definitely will have to buy more info

This was a great book to read for a quick overview on some key components of wine.
