It's as good as they say, nearly - By: M. Summerfield, 01 Jul 2008 
Great wine guide. It's very similar to Hugh Johnson's pocket guide but with much greater detail.
Talking of Hugh Johnson, this guide suffers from the demon proof-reader too - perhaps they've all been sampling too much vino! Unless you've got a fantastic memory, Hugh Johnson's guide is probably more useful as it can easily be carried around on wine buying trips, Wine Behind TL is really too bulky for that.
Wouldn't be without it though. It's encyclopedic knowledge will help you track down the wines that you want.
the best book of its kind; if you want to buy good wine this is the answer. - By: small print, 30 Apr 2008 
I have been buying this annual for some years & with each edition it gets surer & more authoritative. The cover is getting covered with more awards each year. And it has now left all the star-names behind.
The two authors divide the whole of the Wine world by region. This is done pretty seamlessly because they seem to have the same palate. Their achievement is to include all the good producers by region which is surprisingly rare. They give the least breathless but most complete & accurate descriptions too.
The authors livein Europe & their tastes reflect this; Europe, Australia & NZ is covered more extensively than the Americas. The highlights are Burgundy & Italy.
Each region's intro. is also rewritten each year & always up to date. Its the best if you are seriously interestedin this kind of juice!
