I did enjoy reading this book and hearing the backstories behind the talented, driven women in the wine industry. The stories were quite inspirational. Undoubtedly there was a great deal more suffering than was portrayed in the stories in the book. These women are the survivors of a very tough era for women in this industry and have earned their stripes through talent and hard work.
I did find the informality of the writing style distracting. Regarding one profile in particular the subject is probably more intelligent than my initial impression. But this initial impression was probably created by the writer's style.
Putting that complaint aside, I would call this recommended reading for anyone who wants to have a well rounded view of wine and winemaking. And from a marketing standpoint it is thought provoking that marketing a wine successfully means making the product appealing to women as well as men.Get more detail about Women of the Vine: Inside the World of Women Who Make, Taste, and Enjoy Wine.
