5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book for Aussie/NZ wines,
By A Customer
This review is from: Wine Companion, Australia and New Zealand Wine 199: 1999 Edition (Paperback)
Arguably THE book for Aussie and NZ wines, especially good for New Zealand since no major wine magazine has written extensive detail on this region. Great handbook to have. Agree with earlier post that vintage charts by region would be great to have, as well as some index on who the 5* producers are.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A thorough walk-through of (good) Aussie & Kiwi wines,
This review is from: Wine Companion, Australia and New Zealand Wine 199: 1999 Edition (Paperback)
This is a great book. Not only is it quite up-to-date (with tasting of recent vintages), it also covers the majority of the good-to excellent producers. It's written in a 'Parker'-style with many details of the individual wineries - and several of their different bottlings. A (vague) complaint is the absence of general vintage charts. Anyway... definitely recommendable !
