This huuuuuge book by Tom Stevenson and National Geographic is now my new favorite reference book. I'm not even exaggerating a little bit here. I plan to grab this thing first when I need to look something up. And it's not just because I just want an excuse to smell it, because my goodness it does have a GREAT "new book smell" to it.
The whole thing is well written, loaded with great information, and has easy to read maps. It looks like not one subregion is left untouched, and it's done in such a way that you feel like you aren't being overloaded with information.
Even with all those things, being a history nerd my favorite section is the Chronology of wine. Ten pages of a straight-up timeline focusing on important events in wine from all over the world. I still haven't sat down and just read the whole chronology through, but I intend to and can't wait.
This book is awesome, man. It's going to claim the spot for my go-to reference book by my desk for awhile. Go get it, wine geeks! BUY IT HERE!
FIX YOUR CREDIT SCORES AND CLEAN CRIMINAL RECORDS
ReplyDeleteHey there, I am Kevin, live here in Canada. I hate to say this because I am not proud of it, but for the interest of those who maybe going through similar predicaments; I had criminal record that deprived me of so many job opportunities alongside hard inquiries and about 16 derogatory items which messed up my report and lowered my credit score to low 540 (TransUnion) 580 (Equifax) and 560 (Transunion).
I couldn't meet up with so many payments and I had plenty debts, it was going to ruin my life until I read testimonies about came Hack West on a blog and how they can help clean criminal records as well as fixing credit, I thought it was all a faux but something told me to give it a try and after few days, my record was wiped clean and my credit was brought up to 830. I'm so excited and I strongly recommend H A C K W E S T @ W R I T E M E . C O M to anyone who might need his help. You can also WhatsApp: +1 ( 4 2 4) 3 0 7-2 6 3 8.
