Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines

An Expert's Guide to Maximum Enjoyment for Your Dollar

By Johnnes, Daniel & Stephenson, Michael

Publishers Summary:
You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without stuffy, technical terms-and without talking down to the inexperienced wine buyer-Daniel Johnnes lays out all the basics that the consumer needs to know before making his or her next purchase. This edition, newly updated for 2004, includes: * Daniel Johnnes's opinion of 200 wines, including more than 80 wines of recent vintage added since the first edition * Explanations of grape varieties and the wine-making process * How to start a wine cellar for only $750 * Helpful hints on everything from uncorking the bottle to complementary dishes Most important, Johnnes makes the distinction between cheap wines and wines of good value-if a wine is truly great, it may be worth paying a little more than you expected.
