The Magpie's Guide to Montalcino (a book by Laura Gray)

Author Laura Gray has lived in Montalcino for many years, and thus is ideally placed to play the role of informational magpie, collecting history, anecdote, and local lore into this fascinating, charming, and frequently funny book. Not just another wine book, the Magpie's Guide displays Laura's intimate knowledge and deep affection for the small Tuscan town that's become internationally famous for its great wine (Brunello, that is!). I spent an amazing week in Montalcino last year, but I wish I had been able to read the Magpie's Guide beforehand, as it would have greatly enriched my visit. This book is a must for any lover of Tuscany, of Italian wine in general, and of Brunello and its wonderful town. Jamie Wolff
