Random House, 2008. Previous owner's inscription inside.

Another in Random House's successful Mad Keen. Road Trip series, this book follows the format of the Mad Keen Golfer's, Fisherman's and Mountainbiker's Road Trip books and is the perfect volume for wine buffs wanting to make a long weekend of touring through New Zealand various wine regions. With well-considered itineraries for visits within regions (and sub regions), maps and extensive notes on varietals, wine styles and wine trends (so readers can find bone up on what sets a Waipara pint noir apart from a Central pinot noir, for example) this book has huge appeal to both the beginner wine connoisseur and the more wine- familiar.
