Book Reviews of World Atlas of Wine
Book Review: Poor Sonoma County Coverage
Summary: 1 Stars
While the book is very big, I felt Sonoma County California's wineries deserved more than about one page of coverage. This book seems to have a strong European bias.
If you want much better coverage of California wines, try Matt Kramer's "New California Wine" also available at Amazon.
Summary of World Atlas of Wine
Hailed by critics worldwide as "extraordinary" and "irreplaceable," there are few volumes that have had as monumental an?impact in their field as Hugh Johnson's?The World Atlas of Wine: sales have exceeded four million copies, and it is now published in thirteen languages.World-renowned authors Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson once again combine their unrivalled talents to enhance this masterpiece of wine knowledge. There are now 48 extra pages, including 17 new color illustrations, 20 new maps, and-for the first time ever-double page spreads and full-page photos in the atlas section for maximum visual impact. New World coverage has been extended for both Australia and South America; some New World regions even have their own entries for the first time, including Rutherford, Oakville, and Stag's Leap from California; Mendoza (Argentina); Limestone Coast (Australia); Central Otago and Martinborough (New Zealand); and Constantia (South Africa). And Old World coverage has grown too, with the addition of Toro (Spain), the Peleponnese (Greece), and Georgia. It's a truly incomparable book, and an essential addition to every wine lover's or professional's library.Spirits Books
