Wine Guide

Simply awesome. I know nothing about wine other than what I think tastes good. This book has helped guide me on what to buy and when to drink it in a very clear/easy to understand way.

a keeper, updated

The classic pocket guide, though getting a little bulkier. In an attempt to keep this edition from being even thicker, some material from previous editions has been cut; e.g., listings for particular foods and suggested wines to accompany them. But it is still handy, detailed, comprehensive, authoritative, and all most wine drinkers need, unless you're the type who sniffs corks.

i take this to the wine store

parker is good, but johnson is more reliable. Wine is not a precise science, so parkers scores of 89, 93, etc are misleading. One learns this by subscribing to his online service and learning that the same wine sometimes changes from a 96 to an 87 from one year to the next.

johnson honestly gives general but reliable guidelines as to good years, ordinary years, and forgettable years.

it also fits in the shirt pocket.

an excellent and concise guide

As always an excellent and concise guide to wines of the world.

Basic Guide for New or Experienced Wine Drinkers

For the last 14 years, I have used this guide as an indispensable reference for my wine selections. I can not think of any selection made, using this guide, where the wine did not meet my expectations or the expectations of those that tried my selections.

For those that are new to wines, trust this guide. For it will give you the choices and accuracy you can depend on.
