A comprehensive guide to the delicious world of Italian wine

Customer Review: excellent source

This book is a review by people who know the wine, the history and what the wine should be from year to year. It provides a great perspective on the state of Italian wine and it's place in the industry.

Customer Review: A bit of a mess and far too much convoluted detail...

I see the validity of the points of the other reviewer here, but I'll be frank, this book is just not set up well and nor does it have any type of approachability for even the wine professional. If you're looking for any kind of a casual book, this is NOT it. You will have to wade through literally hundreds of pages and indexing (in a horribly small print) to find anything you are looking for or will find useful.

See my FULL review for the 2006 edition of this book if you'd like more examples. I've used both it and the 2008 for very specific things. But in general, I'll never purchase another from this series and will probably have very little reason to use either of them again. They are just not easy to use or approachable.
