“Dauntingly detailed yet thoroughly entertaining—a rare combination in the wine world.” Andrew Jefford, author of Drinking with the Valkyries
“Every bit as wide-ranging, enlightening, and fun as if you were conversing, glass in hand, across a tasting table with the author himself.” Doug Tunnell, founder and vintner, Brick House Wines
“This is a delightful book. Neal writes with rigour and balance, and his style is easy to read.” Jamie Goode, author of I Taste Red and The Science of Wine
“Grape Explications is a witty and alternative read that spans an array of wine topics. It nourishes the inner wine geek within and is an amusing display of Hulkower’s ability to apply critical thinking to wine, even if the results are not what we’d first expect.” Sunny Hodge, author of The Cynic's Guide to Wine
“Grape Explications is like sharing a long, winding tasting with a witty friend who knows his stuff but never takes himself too seriously. It’s smart without being stiff, playful without being flippant and full of both love for wine and gentle mischief.” Simon Judge, winedrinker.co.uk
“Consider it a valuable addition to the region’s growing literature, presenting something enticing to any reader.” Greg Norton, Oregon Wine Press
