Reviews
Blink and you miss what’s happening in the turbo-charged wine industries of South America. Amanda Barnes doesn’t blink. Her authority is based on ten years submersion in some of the fastest-moving sources of good wine on earth; essential information, beautifully presented.
Amanda Barnes knows her stuff — and makes a brilliant guide to the intoxicating world of South American wine. This is as comprehensive, detailed, evocative and up-to-date a guide to South America and its wines as you’re likely to find. You can tell it’s written by someone who lives and loves this region — she brings people and places to life with tender familiarity and vibrant detail, yet with the added perspective that an interested, involved outsider can bring to bear. It’s as dense, profound and vivid as the Brazilian rainforest!
Amanda’s excitement about the wines of South America is contagious and she champions these countries that deserve a place at the international fine wine table. Not only is this a comprehensive dive into the continent’s wines but she’s gone above and beyond by giving us all a travel guide to seeing these beautiful places in person.
The South America Wine Guide is indeed a magnus opus – an outstanding piece of academic research. It is the most comprehensive work on South American wine ever published in English… It is also the first time I have read a wine reference book in which the prose moved me to tears, set off a sense of longing, haunted me with history, and inspired me with excitement for the future.
