Christy Campbell's investigation offers a gripping narrative lens through which to view the vulnerability of global agriculture, charting the catastrophic toll of the 1860s vineyard blight. However, this title does not suit casual drinkers looking for quick pairing tips, modern cocktail recipes, or light travelogues through wine country. Those seeking an immediate, practical manual for selecting bottles will want to look elsewhere, but patient readers interested in high-stakes agricultural history will find a compelling tale of survival.
