Description:
With Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide: 2002, the magical West London-based, award-winning wine journalist and author, Oz Clarke, continues to help the wine drinker avoid any "hocus-pocus" in the world of Hawke's Bay and Petrus. Setting the tome's tone in a breezy introduction, Clarke describes what he'll be drinking in the wake of the current global wine glut ("making a beeline for Tuscany" or consuming "Kiwi" Sauvignon made "with gorgeous crunchy attack"). He then spends a few pages nominating his picks for "Wines of the Year" and includes "Producers to Watch" lists--oddly identical to those in the 2001 guide--and the requisite chapter on pairing food and wine. But Clarke's Pocket Wine Guides have always been the most practical quick reference due to their Abruzzo-to-Zin factor: entries cover everything from chateaux and regions to grape types and growers, all in one world-encompassing, border-defying alphabetization. If the author tends to exclude many smaller U.S. producers, and even if only nominally updated from the previous edition, Oz Clarke's Pocket Wine Guide: 2002 still has the magic. --Tony Mason
