As the brash, opinionated editor of the 2002 edition of the Good Wine Guide, Robert Joseph--founder of Wine magazine, columnist for the [London] Sunday Telegraph, and Web site host--presents a glossy volume as unctuously meretricious as an over-oaked Chardonnay. With more than 300 hardbound pages, the Good Wine Guide 2002 will never pass as one of the numerous "pocket" wine guides saturating the market, but it does share similar traits, albeit in puzzling proportions. Barely more than half the book is devoted to an A-to-Z of the entire world of wine, including terminology and producers (the entries for some of which being egregiously flip), while Joseph dedicates a whopping 18 pages to the preferred padding of pocket guides everywhere--food and wine matches. A risky chapter devoted to state-by-state retailers excludes California giant Beverages & More, but includes the defunct (later partially resuscitated) Wine.com; it's a lost gamble. Better are features such as full-color pages depicting wine labels from around the world and how to read them. And if California "White Merlot" does become the next big thing, it'll just prove that Robert Joseph is better at prognostication than presentation. --Tony Mason

A Handy and Concise Referance.......2006-03-12

Provides the beginner and not-so-expert expert with a wealth of wine information. Where is the 2006 edition???

Don't waste your money!.......2001-12-22

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.

Maximum Info in a Quick Reference.......2001-09-24

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!

A very useful book for me, a beginer drinker........2001-08-07

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.

Good reference/overview on wines, wineries and varietals........2000-06-23

This is an excellent reference book for either someone starting to enjoy wine or the more experienced wine drinker. It contains very good food / wine recommendations, wine ratings, winery ratings, wine definitions, and an overview of the wine growing regions of the world. Very comprehensive for a small book you can carry with you. It is well worth the money!
