Biodynamic Wines (2003, Mitchell Beazley) by Monty Waldin

This was my third book. The brains behind it at Mitchell Beazley was Hilary Lumsden. In his review in the The Observer (British Sunday newspaper) Tim Atkin (5th December 2004) said he ‘greatly enjoyed [it], a scholarly, lucid, well-researched guide to this most baffling of subjects.’ In a previous review (7th November 2004) in the same newspaper Atkin said ‘Monty Waldin’s brilliant new book makes a very persuasive case for biodynamics.’

Richard Ehrlich of The Independent called the book ‘an excellent, detailed account of a complex and fascinating area.’
