Highly recommended ... full of insights ... Walls is a quiet listener with a superb palate. He has committed the necessary shoe leather to find the best producers in the region. -- Victoria Moore * The Telegraph * Walls writes extremely well ... Through just a few words, a sentence or two, he manages to convey a real sense of the personalities behind the estates. And his descriptions of many of the wines are so mouth-watering that it's difficult to read this book without wanting to rush off and buy the wines. It has been way too long since we last had a decent book on the Rhone, and Walls has done a great job of filling that gap. Overall, this is a comprehensive, thoughtful, provocative-at-times but very insightful book which is essential reading for Rhone lovers or anyone trying to get to grips with the region. -- Tamlyn Currin * jancisrobinson.com *
