Product Description
Hugh Johnson has won a legion of fans with his keen ability to make the sometimes complex topic of wine wonderfully lucid—and every year, his popular pocket guide is a bestseller. That makes it number one in the market. Here, in it’s 30th anniversary year, he has completely revised and updated this classic, offering more current news than ever on over 6,000 wines, growers, and regions, along with up-to-the-minute vintage information, recommended wines (including budget options), and star ratings. With this book in hand, wine lovers won’t need anything else to help them select anything from a bottle for an everyday dinner to a prestige vintage for investment. A new section showcases Johnson’s special, personal choices, and there are plenty of quick-reference maps, charts, and fact boxes for a little extra guidance.

5 out of 5 stars Basic Guide for New or Experienced Wine Drinkers   August 5, 2007
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

For the last 14 years, I have used this guide as an indispensable reference for my wine selections. I can not think of any selection made, using this guide, where the wine did not meet my expectations or the expectations of those that tried my selections.

For those that are new to wines, trust this guide. For it will give you the choices and accuracy you can depend on.

The classic pocket guide, though getting a little bulkier. In an attempt to keep this edition from being even thicker, some material from previous editions has been cut; e.g., listings for particular foods and suggested wines to accompany them. But it is still handy, detailed, comprehensive, authoritative, and all most wine drinkers need, unless you're the type who sniffs corks.


5 out of 5 stars i take this to the wine store   June 6, 2007

parker is good, but johnson is more reliable. Wine is not a precise science, so parkers scores of 89, 93, etc are misleading. One learns this by subscribing to his online service and learning that the same wine sometimes changes from a 96 to an 87 from one year to the next.

johnson honestly gives general but reliable guidelines as to good years, ordinary years, and forgettable years.

it also fits in the shirt pocket.

Simply awesome. I know nothing about wine other than what I think tastes good. This book has helped guide me on what to buy and when to drink it in a very clear/easy to understand way.
