The Book of Sherry Wines (César Saldaña)

Discovering the extraordinary diversity of sherry is a monumental journey through oenology, history and culture. But, while it embraces a widely varied range of wines and a unique character, sherry doesn't need to be a cryptic subject. Its singularity, resulting from more than 3,000 years of history, genuine natural conditions, and knowledge accumulated over centuries by vine-growers and winemakers, can all be explained and understood.

César Saldaña is an excellent guide to lead us through the fascinating world of these unique wines. A book with style and depth, in witty and restrained prose. With a clear didactic vocation, César joins his solid knowledge with the generosity of the wise, all distilled into a delicious concoction of answers and information. A historic book. And there are not many of such kind.
