Editorial Reviews
Review
"This serious, detailed examination of one of the world's greatest wine countries. . . is an impressive reference resource."
(Decanter 2014-07-01) "For the diligent student or even the mildly curious, it's a great way to learn about the complexities of German viticulture and law as well as the names of all the great vineyards. The book also lists producers the authors deem good, superior or exceptional—so even German-wine neophytes can locate those names on bottle labels."
-Lettie Teague's Six Favorite New Wine Books
(Wall Street Journal 2014-09-12)-Lettie Teague's Six Favorite New Wine Books
"Casual readers will enjoy the maps, the photos by Hendrik Holler and overviews while the serious student will find her reward in the details. . . . Highly recommended."
(The Wine Economist 2014-09-09)

This is the best German wine Atlas in print right now. The other books trying to do this task are ok but with deficiencies. This one is more complete, with proper scales on all the maps and with hectares listed for all the vineyards covered. It also covers the characteristics of each and ranks them. It is still not a complete German wine book per se because coverage on general subjects on German wine is light and it does not cover producers all that much. One thing that the many other German wine atlas do have highway maps and this one does not. This will give you more information but for traveling, you will still need a Michelin map or one of the older published German wine atlases for the driving maps. This is a good book and with great pictures too. Expensive at around $50 but it has good and new information.

I've read hundreds of books on wine and this one is one of my favourites. Absolutely beautiful pictures go along with detailed vineyard descriptions. It even has a fair amount of information on the smaller and lesser known regions like Ahr or Saxony. German wine books are not terribly abundant, and this one is a must-have for anyone with an interest.
