'Lebanon has been off the wine-lover's map for two millennia. The publication of [this] sumptuous book is a first step towards rectifying this ... the madness and charm of Lebanon are both succinctly captured in images which show that, where madness and charm coexist, wine is never far away.' The New Statesman 'A colourful, coffee table book that chronicles the country's long and rich wine heritage.' Wine International 'The first thoroughgoing survey of what's on the Lebanese wine market ... an attractive object ... well-written.' The Daily Star 'A celebratory book ... sixteen estates are brought alive with knowledgeable and passionate writing, and Schiller's resonant photography.' www.wine-pages.com 'It's enough to make me reach for a glass of thirst-quenching white wine, but which Lebanese producer shall I choose?' Tom Stevenson, award-winning author of Sotheby's Wine Encyclopaedia
