Pocket guides: Clake vs. Jhonson,
By Guillermo Olaiz Silva (Hermosillo, Son (México)) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide 2008 (Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Book) (Hardcover)
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.
