Port and the Douro

The books in the Mitchell Beazley Classic Wine Library are always good, and Mayson’s book on Port is no exception. The only issue with using this book as a guide is that the chapters on vintages, producers, and shippers need to be updated by visiting the Internet or reading a few back-issues of Decanter.
Everything else – the illustrations, the history of Port, the story behind the functioning of the Quintas, grape types and cultivation in the Duoro terroir, making Port, types of Port, storing, aging and serving Port, and other types of Duoro wines – is thoroughly good, highly informative and written well enough to hold your attention.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants the background and an education in the whys and wherefores of Port and the Duoro.
