5.0 out of 5 stars Uniquely enjoyable, 12 Sep 2005
By Stephen Bannell "vinatero" (Spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Books on Spanish wine are difficult to find, good books on Spanish wine are rare and books such as Brian Murdock's are unique. Not only is it up-to-date and thorough but it blends a current knowledge of the Spanish wine industry with insights into Spain's history and culture. Robert Parker(aka God), the world's leading wine critic has said of Spanish wine that, "Spain has done an outstanding job of maintaining respect for its traditions of the past and also looking forward to the future." This wine revolution is perfectly captured in Murdock's book.
However, this is not just a (well-above) average reference book on Spanish wine regions and their wines. This book is far more. It is a personal journey, literally, through the highways and byways of Spain-most Spanish wineries are on byways-where the author talks to a wide cross-section of individuals involved in wine-making. This allows the reader to hear the voices of those actually making the wide variety of quality wines which Spain is now producing.
In this personal account the author's acute perceptions, deep knowledge. wit and sheer passion of and for Spanish wine burns through. At the end of this excellent read Murdock modestly states that he is not an 'expert' but '...after a helluvah lot of work, I should know what I am talking about.' Indeed he does.
As a wine merchant based in Spain and having visited many of the same places and tasted the same wines as the author I can bear witness to the book's acccuracy and insight. This first-class book will not only appeal to all those who wish to explore Spanish wines but also its charming people and rich culture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant Book !, 13 Nov 2006
By Omri S. Suleiman "om optical" (spain) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Being a recent immigrant to Spain, and loving the culture (and the wine of course !) this was the perfect book for me.

It's not stuffy, filled with apricots, soot and horse manure. It's a propper person, the kind of chap you'd invite round for dinner having a great discussion with you about his adventures in Spainish wineland.

The cultural and historical additions really help with appreciating the whole of the Spanish wine world.
