Summary: The World Atlas of Wine by Robinson et al.
Review: This work is perfect for wine enthusiasts all over the world.
The authors depict major wine groups as to their geographical
location and surrounding climate . Area maps set forth pointers
to wine territories; such as, the Champagne of eastern
France. The author presents the preferred soil content, climate
and auvee or blend/mixture. This book would be invaluable for
major restaurant owners. If you plan on entertaining an
international audience, the work will assist in selecting wines specific to each country. The pictures alone are worth the
price charged for the volume.

Summary: The CHATEAU PETRUS of wine books!
Review: Whether you're just looking for a book to learn the basics about wine or you're really hooked into the stuff, this is the best book there is -trust me; I own quite a library on the subject. Better to spend your money wisely and once than to throw it away later on ten cheap sales (that goes for wine too!).This book is as simple or as researched as you need it to be. Not only that, it's a very beautiful edition (makes a nice coffee table item). And if you really enjoy it, I suggest you also get Mrs. Robinson's funny DVD "Understanding Wine" (no, not "The Graduate", you wino!). Cheers!
