I would have rated this book 4-stars if the author hadn't included 14 photos of himself in the book. In reading a book on wine, I'm not really concerned with what the author looks like. That having been said, the book got better as it went along. The sections on the classic Left Bank and Right Bank appellations were solid and contained the standard information, with the addition of a few choice nuggets drawn from the author's extensive visits to Bordeaux. Where the book shines is in the attention paid to the Côtes and lesser appellations. After reading the book, I feel like I'm beginning to understand the differences between Blaye, Bourg, Francs, and Castillon. Still, this book is fairly introductory. It's great for anyone new to Bordeaux, and a good review of the rudiments for someone studying for the WSET Diploma (i.e., me). But for more in-depth treatment, I plan to look elsewhere.… (more)

A brilliant guide to wine for a beginner as well as a more informed wine enthusiast I especially enjoyed the country-by-country articles in Part 3. There's some specific suggestions made in those articles too, which is helpful. This book is well worth the price. It's one to keep on hand for general reference purposes.
