You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without stuffy, technical terms-and without talking down to the inexperienced wine buyer-Daniel Johnnes lays out all the basics... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I think this book deserves at least one review, so here I go...When I purchased it, I hoped it would help me understand vast production and offering of quality wines in the world. Well, it did not. Without color pictures, maps and other fancy illustrations I was not as keen on proceeding. That maybe tells more about my reading habits then about the book. So I bought "The New Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia instead" which is really inspiring and I am reading it enthusiastically and gaining knowledge. At this point I am founding Daniel Johnnes's book to be good resource to help me find wine values. With tasting notes on 200 wines, hot shot producers and honest suggestions, I don't have to spend hundreds of dollars on "grand vin" and still can enjoy top quality.
