A Good Quick Burgundy Reference Book,
By Raymond M. Anthony (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Mitchell Beazley Pocket Guide: Wines of Burgundy (Mitchell Beazley Pocket Guides) (Hardcover)
In format, this book is not dissimilar to Parker's Burgundy or Coates' Cote d'Or (i.e., listings by appellation, listing by producer, etc.). It is nowhere near as comprehensive as either of the aforementioned works (both of which I highly recommend), however, it does not try to be. It does provide succinct overviews of the major districts and producers. Serena Sutcliffe, a Master of Wine, is very knowledgeable about her subject. It is worth buying the book just to get her perspective. The greatest negative about the book is the small type. This may be personal to me, but I read wine books for enjoyment, and I find that the very small type of this book diminishes that enjoyment.

This review is from: Mitchell Beazley Pocket Guide: Wines of Burgundy (Mitchell Beazley Wine Guides) (Hardcover)
A thorough review from A-Z with Burgundian wines and Domaines. Our recent visit would have been too haphazard without this guide.

Wines of Burgundy,
By
This review is from: Wines of Burgundy (Mitchell Beazley Wine Guides) (Hardcover)
There is simply no better guide to bring with you when traveling in Burgundy. It is pocket size and yet comprehensive. Other books maybe have great depth but they are suited for reading at home. This is the book that you bring with you and can satisfy the needs of the novice or the connisseur. Serena Sutcliffe is equal to any in her knowledge of Burgundy and you can not go wrong following her advice.
Make sure you get the 2005 edition as it has the latest vintage notes.
