The Port Companion: A Connoisseur's Guide

Rating:
Summary: Slim, but full of knowledge.
Review: A delightful read, beautifully laid out as well. An excellent first book on port, though long-time devotees doubtless consult it regularly too. I suppose it could have been a smidge longer, as Spence obviously draws on a storehouse of port knowledge, but that's a small criticism and the volume is well worth its price.

Summary: An excellent guide to the world of port
Review: I also read the German translation of this book, and I must say I use it quite frequently to look up port companys before I buy their products. So far I can only agree to the ratings given by Mr. Spence. Looking into the book causes strong desire to drink a glass of this very special and delicious kind of wine.

Summary: Best available book on port
Review: I've read the german translation of this port companion. It is very helpful and well written. Very good pictures of Quintas and bottles make it a joyful read. The author gives details for wines and vintages on most quintas. Maybe he could have given more comments on vintages on some quintas, esp. the high rated ones.
