Good Wine Guide 2004

Summary: A very useful book for me, a beginer drinker.
Review: As an absolute beginner, I like this book. It's straightforward, easy to understand. It's not pretentious as some other wine books. The most part I like about this book is that the every pronunciation of the wines and grapes are spelled out. It's very useful for someone like who doesn't know French or Italian. I wish it were on tape as well.

Summary: Maximum Info in a Quick Reference
Review: I have the 2000 version, just ordered the 2002 version. An excellent reference book for quick checks and general info. Contains more info than most, if not all wine books I have read/purchased. Just plain handy!

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Review: This book is not for beginers. The author gets into things that are not important. Who cares what wine goes with cheesecake, cashews or chocalate. That's by choice. I gave the book away to the waste management company.
