Product Description

Hugh Johnson has won a legion of fans with his keen ability to make the sometimes complex topic of wine wonderfully lucid—and every year, his popular pocket guide is a bestseller. That makes it number one in the market. Here, in it’s 30th anniversary year, he has completely revised and updated this classic, offering more current news than ever on over 6,000 wines, growers, and regions, along with up-to-the-minute vintage information, recommended wines (including budget options), and star ratings. With this book in hand, wine lovers won’t need anything else to help them select anything from a bottle for an everyday dinner to a prestige vintage for investment. A new section showcases Johnson’s special, personal choices, and there are plenty of quick-reference maps, charts, and fact boxes for a little extra guidance.

Outstanding5
I can't believe the amount of information contained in this book. It's staggering. No wonder this is the best selling "wine book", with 8 million copies in print.

Initially I purchased this for the vintage charts, as I'm relatively new to wine and haven't a clue about what vintages were good and what veintages were not, but this book has so much more to offer, listing producers, vineyards...it's, well, outstanding. This is one book that every wine professional should have.

Don't leave home without it...5
This is the third time I have bought this impressive pocket guide to wine. There is just so much information packed into a book that you can literally fit in your pocket and take to restaurants, wine stores and your favorite wine snob's house. Hugh Johnson includes comprehensive vintage charts with recommendations on when to drink wines from each vintage, many entries for producers around the world and their best wines and vintages, a complete list of grape varieties, wine and food pairings and much more. As I said, don't leave home without it!

Best for Info 5
I have purchased this book each year for the past five years as a gift for my son-in-law. He loves great wines and has found Hugh Johnson a valuable source of information. Each year they go to France and purchase wines according to Hugh and have been very happy with their choices.
