Reviews
What makes the book so encompassing, informative, and relevant is that Haeger has avoided focusing on viticulture or enology or economy in isolation, and has instead looked at all of them in their historic and contemporary scientific and socio-cultural context... Not everyone loves Riesling, but those of us who do will find our passion articulately explained and expressed in Haeger's book. -- Anne Krebiehl, MW The World of Fine Wine A thorough, rigorous and quite fascinating analysis of Riesling's world, focusing on dry Riesling production in the Northern Hemisphere. The Wine Economist
