5 out of 5 stars Best book on Australian Wines   August 24, 1998
I am of Australian origin and was recently in Australia, among other things, looking for Aussie wines to start my own cellar. His book was well written, and, unlike most other wine critics, does not rate his own wines as a mark of his integrity. We found many good, medium priced wines and reccomend this book for anyone interested in Australian wines.


4 out of 5 stars An Invaluable Reference to the Best in Down Under Wine   June 12, 1998
 2 out of 2 found this review helpful

Because they offer a fantastic diversity of flavors and represent great value in today's glutted wine market, the best wines of Australia and New Zealand are in high demand world-wide. Mr. Halliday is today THE authority on these wines, one of the most reliable wine critics out there, and this book further establishes his reputation with the most up-to-date information available. Here he has selected the best wineries, organized alphabetically, with statistics and tasting notes following. He is unabashedly biased towards these wines, but his notes are exceptionally well written without sounding stuffy or flowery. If you're into Australian wines, this book will be an INVALUABLE resource and will point you towards some really memorable and iconoclastic wines. If there's a flaw, I'd say it could be better indexed, allowing you to more easily compare, say, Australian shirazes or wineries of New South Wales. But if you're an adventurous wine drinker, you're certain to make some excellent discoveries with this book.
