Oz Clarke
Harcourt, 2001
If you like wine, you need this book!
+ Fun, informative and open-minded

One of the most comprehensive books on wine grapes around. It gets to the heart of the subject: what a wine made from a specific grape should smell and taste like. My copy has been "borrowed" several times from my bookcase....

4000 Champagnes3 reviews
Richard Juhlin
Flammarion, 2005
Come quickly, I'm seeing stars!!!
+ Bellissimo Libro
+ Best overview about Champagne
Hard to imagine a more hedonistic pursuit than sampling--and rating--4000 champagnes. This book is encyclopedic, well written and easy to use. Some of the tasting notes on small grower's special blends that aren't available to the general public are superfluous but fun to read in any event. If ...

What I can say is ...
