‘A complete yet concise, politely opinionated guide to this region and its captivating wines and food.’
Eric Asimov, The New York Times

‘The quixotic wines of France’s Jura are increasing the darlings of global tastemakers, thus in great need of a good resource. Wink Lorch provides that, an indispensable reference.’
Jon Bonné, San Francisco Chronicle
