Format:Hardcover
This book is written with a great deal of love and understanding of sherry and the people who made the trade in it so successful. It is a fascinating insight into how the popularity of sherry developed, and how the winemakers have coped with change and development. The fifth edition is as fresh as the first, written after the author's stay in Jerez in 1956.

Jeffs crisply and wryly tells the story of sherry and its origins, production and technical analyisis from grapes to finished product, detailed information on contemporary shipping bodegas and the colorfully vast history of the events and people involved in making this wine into one of the most delightful, famous and far reaching beverages the world has ever known.

In depth about Sherry

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
If you REALLY want to know about sherry then purchase this. Sherry is difficult to learn about due to the variety of styles and this text really makes it easy.
Good Value

Things have changed a lot since this book was published and are worth looking into, but as a historical primer on Jerez, Sanlucar and Puerto del Santa Maria, the older editions of this now seminal work are more than satisfactory.
