Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Great ResourceQuite Comprehensive. A true text book - not just a collection of maps. Helpful with food and wine pairings and a strong glossary. Rating:  - Review of Culinary InstituteVery large book, almost too large to read and enjoy comfortably. However, makes a good coffee table book. Rating:  - great for a giftSo the book might be a bit too technical-tongued sometimes, or it may contain unbalanced chapters (the one about serving wine should have been either more accurate or none at all) but by all means it is a great book. Graphics and pictures are superb. I enjoyed reading it, although, as an Italian, I found the story about Italian produce a bit modest (forgive me, it's only that we have the best wines in all the world, it's a fact...). I just need to find a wine book that tells it like it is: THE BEST WINE IS THE ONE YOU LIKE, OR THE ONE YOU DRINK WITH YOUR GREAT FRIENDS. P.S. : my mom told me Mr. Mondavi, the prefator, is a relative of a relative. The world is small. Rating: - Toss-UpAlthought this is a good book, I would not recommend it as a primary purchase (try "Wine for Dummies" or "Windows on the World Complete Wine Course") nor as a secondary purchase (try "Wine Bible" or "Oxford Companion to Wine"), but I would recommend it as a tertiary purchase. There is a decent amount of material presented in a professional and eye-pleasing manner. Be forewarned that the book is large (9"x11") and heavy -- probably not something you would read in bed. The coverage of the different areas is pretty good, but not exceptional, hence my four-star rating.
