Customer Reviews

GOOD ON YOU, MATE!

I was sent this book as a gift by a friend in Australia and it hasn't left my coffee table since. The photographs, humorous text and hand-drawn illustrations are all superb - so much so that I've bought additional copies for my dog-loving friends. Order this book now - you won't be disappointed!

Wine dogs

I saw this book at my veterinarian's office and came right home and ordered it. The photography is beautiful and the verbage unique and funny. It is a book by and for dog lovers.

BEST EVER DOG PICS

This book is fabulous! The photos are the best dog pictures I have ever seen. The write ups for each dog are hilarious. Whenever I am feeling down, I pick up the book and find myself laughing in seconds. It is one of my very favorite books. The Wine Dogs USA is just as good. If you love dogs, you have to have it.

delightful book

I now have the whole collection from these great photographers.It's something you never tire of looking at if you love dogs AND wine like we do.

It took a couple of Demons to put this book together.

Here's the original and best winery dogs book. Devilishly conceived and beautifully realised, Wine Dogs is a tribute to those four legged denizens of wine country, those front of house canines who are always there, rain or shine. Well, mostly shine. There is a photographic collection of almost every variety of mutt in every variety of winery throughout Australasia, interspersed with articles and turns of wit from the foremost industry writers including Huon Hooke, Phil Laing, Craig McGill, PollyWaffle D. Dog (suspicious), the famous Robert "Rocky" O'Callaghan, Max "Crush" Allen and Chester "d'Arenberg" Osborn. Not sure from which direction Chester is coming but he certainly is making his way as a wordsmith. I think. This book, I understand, has sold out two editions in Australia so there seems to be no argument. It's a hit. It took a couple of Demons to put this book together. Craig McGill and Susan Elliott have a triumph on their hands. There must be more vinous hounds out there - let's see the second edition soon, please! And more dogs from New Zealand! Thanks all `round. Woof!
