Great Wine Book January 26, 2007
An outstanding reference. Covers just about everything you need or want to know about the world of wine. I just open the book to a random page and enjoy reading it. I teach an introduction to wine course at a local university and I find the book gets me details I cannot find in other places. For lme at least it is fun to read.
 Not enuf stuff January 23, 2007
3 out of 27 found this review helpful
Though I've hardly read the entire tome, my quick reaction is that I'm missing being able to look up specific wines from specific vineyards. Only select and generally quite famous wines and vineyards are mentioned and even with those, we are not told which vintages are special or to be avoided. A lot of money for a text book that is not a consumer's guide.
An Ideal Resource January 10, 2007
This is simply an outstanding resource: accessible, comprehensive, enticing. It serves well both the neophyte and the expert.
The Wine Bible January 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am in the wine industry and this is always the first wine book I go to for an answer. It is a comprehensive wine reference book that I dub "The Wine Bible". In the morning this book is either still on my chest or on the floor next to my bed.
Great wine information January 9, 2007
This tome is chock full of wine information. I look information up in it regularly. With the explotion of wine production there is a lot of new wines on the market to learn about. It also has a section listing the grapes in French AOC wines. Concise and well written.
