Critic reviews

"If you are a lover of Malbec and would like to learn more about its history in Argentina, this is a fun and easy read. It does make me want to travel to Mendoza after the COVID pandemic is behind us." (Wine, food, and travel writer Karl Kliparchuk, WSET (Wine and Spirit Education Trust) Advanced Designation)

"Vanda Jackson has a passion for wine and food. A love affair with Mendoza and Malbec led Jackson to pen a spirited book on this now much-loved grape and wine style." (Mark DeWolfe, sommelier, and food and wine critic for Saltwire.com) 

"This book is well researched, entertaining and a really great read because the author has done her homework - which I am sure she enjoyed! lol I certainly learned a great deal about the lowly grapes journey from woe to wow." (Lana Shupe, Atlantic Book Reviews)
