Rebecca Gibb is an award-winning wine journalist, the author of The Wines of New Zealand, and a Master of Wine.

"What’s most impressive is that Gibb has managed to maintain a lively, well-paced, humorous, deliciously gossipy, slyly acerbic narrative. While she’s got a good grip on the events and is adept at teasing out the threads that come together to shape the course of history, it’s her ability to bring people to life that underpins her storytelling."
