I just recently purchased this book and started to read it. So far, I think it is an excellent travel book for Portugal for wine & food lovers. It is very comprehensive with hundreds of listings for wineries, restaurants, markets, stores and hotels. I will be writing up a more extensive review in the near future, but I am very impressed with it.
Especially as I am planning a trip to Portugal for next year. I think this book will be very valuable for my planning.

Hey Andrew,
I agree with you that it is more of a travel book than a recipe or wine book; however, if you are a wine lover, this is a fantastic book to truly get a feel for the country and its culture. But then again, that's just my two cents after writing a review on it myself ;-)
