Reviewed by Kathy Sullivan
Jancis Robinson, a renowned wine expert, has edited the works of many wine experts contributions to what can best be described as a wine encyclopedia. Almost any wine word one looks up is located within its pages as well as many wine words that you may never have heard of before. As with many other wine books, only a few wine regions in the U.S. are briefly explored. Despite this, it is an excellent book to own. Anyone interested in more than tasting wine, will be happy to have The Oxford Companion to Wine, 3rd edition on his or her bookshelf. |
