“No serious student or afficiando should be without these maps. Available folded so you can carry with, flat with magnetic frame for hanging and in relief (I'm hoping). To see these maps with elevation would be as game changing as they would be mesmerizing.
I was not sure if the magnetic hangers would be viable. They are. It's a simple hanging. If they were matted and framed they'd be museum/gallery readyI'd love to see small regions on coffee mugs ... represenative of what CMS might test one with.
Delivery was very quick.
One can never have enough maps. And charts. But poorly made. poorly thought ... those are just a waste of time. These are neither. I'd love to see a map of the Mediterranean. or a Map of the Ancient areas including the paths taken to them. I'd love to see these maps with an integration of 'time' applied. Perhaps by studying the ancient areas of cultivation we can have a better understanding of where climate change will take the grapes.
A Map of the Mediterranean would be amazing.
As would a Map of the Black Sea.”
Hi Michael, thanks so much for great review! Very happy that you found the magnetic frames easy to put up. And we'll take on board your suggestions, especially for a wine map of the Mediterranean, but also seeing how additional dimensions, such as time can be incorporated into future maps.
“What should I say? The BEST maps about wine regions on the market! Very very detailled, very exaustive, and very useful.
Perfect for WSET Lev. 3 or WSET Diploma students!”
“Someone once told me that wine is always about a place. You can't argue that when you drink a great wine, it transports you somewhere. When you have a De Long maps, you simply enhance the experience. The De Long map are simply the best maps ever. The quality of the print, the relevance of the information has elevated my passion for wines. Whether it's the wine map of France or Italy or the Wine Grape Varietal Table - they are now essential tools to my tasting experience. Trust me, you will never drink the same way again.”
Thank you so much, Pierre, for your fantastic 5-star review! We couldn't agree more that wine is always about a place. Cheers to many more incredible wine experiences!
“Their wine maps are simply the best in the business. I purchased the digital versions of France, Italy and Germany and realized that I wanted the entire set. They were able to credit me for the three that I already bought very quickly and painlessly. I can't recommend them enough.”
“Was hoping I'd be as enthused about my cheese chart as I was about my periodic wine table. I purchased the the first wine chart (and have the related 2nd edition book) which was printed on a good quality paper that had a matte finish. As my original faded, I ordered the 2012 update and am disappointed with the wine chart dated 2012 and the cheeses of France chart because of the quality of the paper. It's glossy rather than matte and creases easily. I was hoping to laminate it but it would brown in a laminating machine. Likely I'll frame it using glass. Content is fascinating!”
Thanks so much for your review and honest comments about the paper quality. We've tried several different types of paper over the years and remarkably received more complaints about the expensive Mohawk uncoated vellum that your first wine chart was printed on. We're now printing on a fairly standard 100 lb Finch matte paper without lamination. The colors are brighter on it as it is coated paper stock. It seems to be a good all rounder with no complaints until now.
In the very near future, we will be offering all of our maps and prints using on heavyweight archival 160 lb paper with pigmented inks using the giclée system. It will cost more than our current maps as a premium option.
Thanks again for your review!
“Top quality. I ordered their wine regions maps of Spain, France and Italy to be shipped to Ireland. Initially my order got lost but they shipped the day right after I contacted them about the delay and it got here very quickly and very safely packed. Great quality product too.”
Hi Jordi, thanks so much for the great review and patience. I'm glad everything worked out in the end. International shipping is increasingly difficult.
