Thanks for the review, Kori. Like you, the book has me actually hunting for Italian wines that I had never heard of before I read the book. I think it is especially perfect for people who have been intimidated by the sheer number of Italian wines available. That we are not so familiar with Italian geography doesn’t help.

Great review Kori. I thought the book was outstanding, and it also encouraged me to try off the radar Italian varietals. I also agree that the book does a tremendous job of laying out the relationship between Italy’s food and wine culture, food being a must to truly enjoy the wine. I must say however, I was taken aback by the Veneto and it’s tradition of eating horse meat.

Well done, Kori. Thanks for participating. Just watch out for Piemonte. It will grab you and never let go. I visited for the first time in February 2006 and have been dying to get back ever since.
