Known to millions for his phenomenal palate, irreverent style, accurate predictions and enthusiasm for life in general and wine in particular, Oz Clarke is perhaps Britain's most popular wine writer. His POCKET WINE BOOK features more than 1,400 entries arranged alphabetically, so you can find out about any wine even if you only know its name (for example, you don't have to know if Chateau St Jean is French to find it - actually it's Californian!) There are in-depth profiles of classic wines and grape varieties, all the vintage information you need, recommended producers, clear symbols, helpful cross-referencing and extensive world-wide coverage. Information that is of interest to the expert is presented here in a form accessible to the novice. All this in a handy pocket-sized volume means that wherever you are - restaurant, wine bar, club, wine merchant's or supermarket, at home or on holiday - you can have Oz Clarke's unrivalled expertise at your fingertips.
