SIX PEOPLE WITH A CONNECTION TO THE LAND With these three new volumes there are now six books in the series Wine Portraits. They are in-depth reports written by the journalist and sommelier Ruth Troyano with photography by Maoz Eliakim. The volumes are the result of many hours spent in the company of the oenologists in an attempt to understand their connection with the land and their wine-making style as well as to discover how they have developed as people since they graduated from the University of Tarragona and how their wine project has influenced their personal development and has given them creative freedom.
