Description: From Library Journal
Sommelier to three New York restaurants, Johnnes offers contemporary advice on wines to try and buy. Following concise explanations of grape varieties and the making, tasting, and serving of wine, he addresses some common misconceptions about wine and food. His selections for the top 200 wines are grouped by the handy designations of body and color and explained through information about the winery, winemaker, area, and/or wine itself. The price and a food match are also included. Johnnes's advice is basically sound, and reasonably priced wines are well represented. Unfortunately, some wines may not be easily found. Johnnes also offers specific recommendations for setting up an instant cellar for $500, $1000, or $5000?a formula of limited interest to real oenophiles, who make cellar decisions to suit their personal taste. Further, specific recommendations will be somewhat dated in a year or two. There isn't much that is new here. Recommended only for libraries maintaining exhaustive collections on this topic.?Carolyn I.

Book Description
You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without stuffy, technical terms-and without talking down to the inexperienced wine buyer-Daniel Johnnes lays out all the basics that the consumer needs to know before making his or her next purchase. This edition, newly updated for 2004, includes:
* Daniel Johnnes's opinion of 200 wines, including more than 80 wines of recent vintage added since the first edition
* Explanations of grape varieties and the wine-making process
* How to start a wine cellar for only $750
* Helpful hints on everything from uncorking the bottle to complementary dishes
Most important, Johnnes makes the distinction between cheap wines and wines of good value-if a wine is truly great, it may be worth paying a little more than you expected.
