As multi-layered as a fine wine itself, the OCTW is one reference you will neither tire of nor outgrow.

It's only flaw, and a major one, is that phoenetic spellings are not given for the wines and some of the vineyards, towns, et al. Even those who speak FLUENT French, Italian, German or whatever, will encounter unfamiliar names with pronunciations that may be a puzzle.

Schuetz Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:12:14 +0000 http://lovingrapes.com/the-oxford-companion-to-wine-3rd-edition/#comment-193 Though I've hardly read the entire tome, my quick reaction is that I'm missing being able to look up specific wines from specific vineyards. Only select and generally quite famous wines and vineyards are mentioned and even with those, we are not told which vintages are special or to be avoided. A lot of money for a text book that is not a consumer's guide.
