Review If you want to understand one of the wine regions in the series or contemplate a serious wine tourist expedition, Lewin's guides are the place to start your research... The choice of e-book and print-on-demand paperback formats allows Lewin to keep the books up to date. Lewin's guides, like his other works, are clear, detailed, and analytical. Lewin constantly asks questions and drives to answer them. He doesn't hesitate to share his opinions, but always backs up his arguments. The result, for me at least, is a deeper understanding of the region and its changing place in the wine world.
