Bordeaux

By Robert M. Parker, Jr.. This has been recommended repeatedly by many of us through the threads, but I list it here for those new to the site. A must read for anyone with an interest in Bordeaux Recommended by JScott , 10/13/2000.

Bordeaux Total

By René Gabriel. A very good book on Bordeaux wines written by René Gabriel. I don´t know whether it is also available in english. Interesting to read about the toughts of Gabriel and comparing them with Parker. Recommended by RicVienna , 4/17/2000.

Chateau Latour

By Can't remember.... This book isn't going to win any literature prizes but the pictures are fantastic. Cabernet grapes never looked so scrumptious! $52.50 at Amazon. Recommended by Whuzzup_ , 5/12/2000.

Grand Vins: The Finest Chateaux of Bordeaux and Their Wines

By Clive Coates. This book contains reviews through the early 90s (and as far back as the 1800s), but is most valuable for its in depth look at the histories of the various Chateaux. $38.50 at Amazon. Recommended by Whuzzup_ , 5/12/2000.

LOOKING FOR HELP

By .

OK Wine Enthusiasts I need your help, pronto.

Am headed to Napa/Sonoma for 10 days on Nov. 30 and I lost my bible (The Wine Spectator's Guide to California Wine Country or somesuch) last year. The book is out of production and I've been searching, searching, searching for a suitable replacement that lists 1) wineries with hours and telephone numbers

2) maps to help in navigation 3) restaurants with hours and location 4) lodging, although this is the least important item since I'm O.K. for this trip.

Don't know if this is the appropriate place to put this post, but I'm new to this site and taking a flier.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tasting Pleasures: Confessions of a Wine Lover

By Jancis Robinson. This is my favorite book on the topic of wine. This is not a book of reviews, but instead a book about why Jancis loves wine, including stories about favorite vintners and her thoughts on the new world vs. old world debate. Really a fantastic book. $12.76 at Amazon. By the way, look under recommended videos for the best wine video available. Recommended by Whuzzup_ , 5/12/2000.

The Great Vintage Wine Book, ll

By Michael Broadbent. Simply the definitive tasting notes of old vintages, eg "..... Very little on the nose at first but no obvious faults. After 30 minutes developed a slightly quince-like scent .... " He was writing about the '71 Ch Margaux he tasted in 1987. Seventeen seventy-one that is! What a man, what a hard life! I think the book is out of print but it's worth looking out for second hand. His Pocket Guide to Wine Vintages gives useful summaries but is not in the same class. Recommended by DavidL , 5/12/2000.

The Vintner's Art

By Hugh Johnson & James Halliday.

From the vineyard to the bottle, this text reviews the process of making wine and how the decisions along the way affect the final product. Reviews of grape varieties, vineyard management, harvest decisions and methods, crush, fermentation and blending - a real soup to nuts primer. Enough detail is included so that even a knowledgeable oenophile will learn something, and it impresses one how complex the process really is.
