Publisher's Synopsis
Known to millions for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions and enthusiasm for life in general and wine in particular, Oz Clarke is perhaps Britain's most popular wine writer. His POCKET WINE BOOK features more than 1,600 entries arranged alphabetically, so you can find out about any wine even if you only know its name (for example, you don't have to know if Chateau St Jean is French to find it - actually it's Californian!) In addition there are in-depth profiles of classic wines and grape varieties, all the vintage information you need, recommended producers, clear symbols, helpful cross-referencing and extensive world-wide coverage. This 'celebration' edition for 2000 includes special features on champagne and sparkling wines, Oz's 'Pick of My Life' selection of all-time personal favourites and his hot tips, trends and market predictions for wine in the 21st century. All this in a handy pocket-sized volume means that wherever you are - restaurant, wine bar, merchant or supermarket - buying for yourself or for a party - you can have Oz Clarke's unrivalled expertise at your fingertips.
