Connoisseurs' Handbook of the Wines of California and the Pacific Northwest, The : Fourth Edition

Rating:
Summary: Encyclopedic
Review: A vast array of information not easily available. Reliable reviews of the wines of virtually every known winery, and reliable comments about the future development and direction of wineries.

Summary: A Compendium of Anecdotes
Review: Boring, Unless you run across words about someone you've met, or wines you are interested in, then, the authors merely repeated timeworn anecdotes. The description of the wine making process was interesting at first, but you've really got to be into it to keep slogging through.
