Extremely educational and interesting. But I really wish I could get a transcript so I could read, highlight and reference some of the wineries and wines he references.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Wine Book I've Listened To
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2021
I've listened to a few wine books and watched a couple DVDs about wine, and this is by far the best of them all. Tons of interesting information and wine trivia. If it were available in Kindle format I would buy a copy to use when looking things up.
