Reviews
It manages to make comprehensible a mass of information that is incomprehensibly dense and varied. . . Friedrich gives serious as well as casual wine students entr?©e to some of the world'¬?s most interesting wines. And for that we should all be grateful.-Wine News"[Friedrich] embraces France region by region, offering opinionated reviews of producers and concise demystifications of the French nomenclature that bedevils American consumers."-New York Times"[An] ambitious and idiosyncratic compendium. There's plenty of good information on some of the cutting-edge regions of the country."-Wine Spectator"Fans of French wines will appreciate The Wines of France. . . This is a guide that won'¬?t be obsolete by next year."-San Jose Mercury News"A lively read, like spending time with a connoisseur who would rather share than preach."-Bloomberg.com and Bloomberg Radio"An incredibly useful, comprehensive, and informative guide. The French still make more great wine than any other nation in the world, but they don'¬?t make it easy to understand. Friedrich does. Novices need this book; wine geeks will want it."-Jay McInerney"Remarkable in its depth and breadth of coverage, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in exploring the diverse wines of France. It has become the favorite reference of my entire staff."-Thomas Keller, chef and owner, The French Laundry"Much needed, fabulously realized. I especially like the author'¬?s unsnobby approach and compulsively readable style. This book is full of great wines at low prices, and Friedrich understands that wine is, above all, about pleasure."-Kermit Lynch, owner, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant"I love this book! Truly one of the most comprehensive and informative books of its kind, it is an invaluable tool for the wine professional and consumer alike. Definitely the perfect companion for your next trip to the wine shop."-Caroline Styne, wine director and owner, Lucques and AOC"Most Americans have an irrational fear of French wines-the nomenclature, vintages, edgier tannins, and go?ã?°t de terroir in place of obvious fruitiness. Friedrich has done a tremendous service in demystifying what makes the wines of France as special as they are, as well as helping to preserve a diversity of wine choices in a world that is rapidly becoming more homogeneous."-Randall Grahm, owner, Bonny Doon Vineyard"Straightforward, clear, and concise, Friedrich'¬?s book teaches all about the revolution in French winemaking and how French wines have never been better tasting or as well-priced as they are now."-Jacques P?©pin
