""Over the course of his three editions, Goode has seriously honed his craft, creating a book about wine science that is wholly accessible and yet nerdy enough for those with more academic vinous perversions. An essential purchase for anyone with even a fleeting interest in what makes a wine smell and taste the way it does.""-- ""Good Food Revolution"" ""A great introduction to the scientific and technical innovations applied to grape-growing and winemaking. . . . About half the book is totally new or extensively re-written and updated to this third edition (published nine years after the second edition). . . . An immensely accessible book, written for the lay person."" -- ""Dean Tudor's Gothic Epicures blog"" ""An immensely accessible book, written for the lay person."" -- ""Dean Tudor's Gothic Epicures blog""
