The World Atlas Of Wineby: Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson
Hailed worldwide as “extraordinary” and “irreplaceable,” few volumes have had as monumental an impact in their field as Hugh Johnson's The World Atlas of Wine. More than four million copies have been sold, and it has been published in thirteen languages. World-renowned authors Jancis Robinson and Hugh Johnson combine their unparalleled talents to create this masterpiece of wine knowledge. There are now 48 extra pages, including 17 new color illustrations, 20 new maps, and double page spreads and full-page photos in the atlas section for maximum visual impact. New World coverage has been further extended for both Australia and South America, and some New World regions have their own entries for the first time, including Rutherford, Oakville, and California's Stag's Leap; Argentina's Mendoza; Austrailia's Limestone Coast; New Zealand's Central Otago and Martinborough; and South Africa's Constantia. Old World coverage has also grown, with the addition of Spain's Toro, Greece's Peleponnese, and Georgia. It’s a truly remarkable book, and The World Atlas of Wine is an essential addition to the library of every wine lover or professional. Of all the wine books I've read and reviewed, this one is the most complete, most useful, and most necessary for wine-inclined readers. It is my number one pick, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. If you have read it and want to discuss, or have another book you think is worth talking about, drop me a note in the comments section below. I always enjoy hearing my readers' feedback.
