Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2023 by Margaret Rand

Hugh Johnson himself is like a good wine that improves with age - he is 83 and, this edition, the 46th year of publication, is still as good as ever. Margaret Rand has now taken over the reins and is General Editor.

The world's best-selling wine book. Howard D Goldberg, of The New York Times, is quoted on the back cover "Space for only one wine book in your life? This is it.". This book is quite outstanding and every wine lover should have a copy. The food pairing section is tasty.
