1.0 out of 5 stars Too lazy to update the book?, July 10, 2005

By	Renata Dmowska (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The idea of that book is excellent: to list wines that are medal winners, and, even better, multiple medal winners! Plus some additional generally useful information about wines for novices. But, and here is "but", the authors did not update their past books (I have used some older editions when they were freshly published and they were excellent and very useful!) and this book is simply useless. The winners are from 2000, 2001 or 2002 and very few of newer ones, and by now they are all gone from normal wine stores! So, what is needed now, is a good update and a new publication, and I am sure it will be a bestseller!
