Introduction

About this Wine Guide
This wine guide is both an educational and a wine buying manual; it is not an encyclopedic listing of wine producers and growers. It is in­tended to make you a more formidable, more confident wine buyer by providing you suffi­cient insider’s information to permit the wisest possible choice when a wine-buying decision must be made.
The finest producers and growers of the world’s greatest viticultural regions are evalu­ated, as well as most of the current and up­coming releases in the marketplace. If you cannot find a specific vintage of a highly re­garded wine, you still have at your fingertips a wealth of information and evaluations con­cerning the best producers for each viticultural area.
At the heart of this book is an impartial and comprehensive consumer’s guide to the world’s finest, most consistent producers, and you should be confident in the knowledge that you will rarely make a mistake (unless, of course, the vintage is absolutely dreadful) if you go with a producer judged “outstanding” or “excellent.” (From
