Graeme Lofts' accomplished writing career spans three decades - collective sales of his books total more than 1.7 million copies in Australia alone. With a background in education, Graeme has written award-winning science textbooks, as well as two non-fiction books for general readers. Heart & Soul: Australia's First Families of Wine (Wiley, 2010) was ranked second in the New World Wines category of the 2011 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards. While researching and writing Heart & Soul, Graeme's interest in family businesses was piqued by the many wineries that had been passed down through the generations - the result has been this book.
