Two of the most respected writers on wine today, Oz Clarke and Steven Spurrier, have
joined forces, drawing on their vast personal knowledge and years of tasting great wines
from great vintages, to fashion an unrivalled reference for those interested in quality
without compromise. With the recent bull market in wine collecting, and with prices
skyrocketing, this useful is indispensible for all wine enthusiasts. Organized by
country and wine region, the Fine Wine Guide covers only the world's best wines--though
not necessarily the best known--in an easy-to-use A-Z format. With up-to-date profiles of
producers, wines, and regions, and personal recommendations from Clarke and Spurrier for
each major wine style, this elegant volume give wine drinkers and wine collectors alike a
ready reference to the best vintages, appellations, and producers today, and all the best
bets for the future.
