5.0 out of 5 stars Pocket guide, September 21, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2010: 33rd Edition (Hardcover)
This is the best pocket guide you can find. Everything you need to buy and drink (areas, producers, vintage, rating) is here. Dont expect to learn much from this book (although you can aslo learn a little), but it will guide you perfectly in stores during purchansing. The best thing is that it is updated every year and it says if your specific stored wine vintage is ready or not.

This review is from: Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2010: 33rd Edition (Hardcover)
Very useful for when making dinner for guests and finding the corresponding wine as you have time to look for it. Less effective in restaurants as the maitre d'hotel usually knows whats good and you tend not to take the time to look into the book, or the restaurant might not have the wine you desire.

Never the less, for the pricetag, it is an advisable read and item to have

This review is from: Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2010: 33rd Edition (Hardcover)
This is the 8th year I have purchased this annual guide and it has never let me down.
Thin enough to put in your suit pocket but informative enough to answer all your questions.
