Finally a comprehensive book on the Jura wine region! Jura Wine (with local food and travel tips) by British wine writer & educator Wink Lorch - aka @WineTravel – gives a great understanding and overview of the region, including the local grapes, wine styles and vignerons. Proud to have supported her @Kickstarter campaign last year #jura #wine #winebook
