Windows on the World Complete Wine Course: 2007 Edition (Windows on the World Complete Wine Course)

Customer Review: Great book
I thought this book was very educational and kept me interested enough that I didn’t feel like I was reading a textbook. I truly felt like after reading this book, I could hold a conversation about wines and know enough to not feel ridiculous. The book covers every notable region of the world, except maybe Arkansas and Canada.

My only complaint is there should be less treatment of expensive French wines that Joe Sikspak cannot find nor likely afford. He is likely going to be hitting the Beringer and Mondavi a lot harder than the Chateau Leoville Las Cases.

Customer Review: Wasn’t what I had hoped for
Book did an okay job of describing wines and talked about a few different varietals from a few different regions but I was left feeling as though this book was much less than complete.

Oz Clarke’s Pocket Wine Guide 2008 (Oz Clarke’s Pocket Wine Guides)

Customer Review: Pocket guides: Clake vs. Jhonson
Since 2006 I have been buying the Jhonson’s guide, this year (2008) I tried Clarke’s since his book on Australian wines is superb. The guide turn to be a disapointment, I didnt find a couple of top Rioja (LAN) & California (Avalon)producers, it is layed out in a wierd order so it takes long to find the wine you look for. In the front cover it says that Wine Spectator rates it above Jhonson’s for easy of use, not true. I gave it away and bought my 3rd Jhonson’s guide.
