Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
"[Neal has] a very lively mind and that is always on display, right the way through to the swashbuckling Devil's Wine Glossary at the end. The book is dauntingly detailed yet thoroughly entertaining-a rare combination in the wine world."
-Andrew Jefford, author of Drinking with the Valkyries
"As in his search for elegance both in mathematics and wine, Neal's writing keeps us present and in the moment."
-Deborah Parker Wong, National Editor of the Slow Wine Guide USA and Global Wine Editor of The Somm Journal
"In Grape Explications, Neal takes us by the hand and leads us through his own diverse, eclectic, and intelligent journey through the world of wine in this highly personal collection of insights. They are every bit as wide-ranging, enlightening, and fun as if you were conversing, glass in hand, across a tasting table with the author himself."
-Doug Tunnell, cofounder and winemaker, Brick House Wines
