Refreshingly witty and readable guide to the world's most famous wine region. Every producer in the world with ambitions to make great red wine still looks to Bordeaux for inspiration and the region is brought to life by Oz with his evocative descriptions and personal anecdotes, accompanied by stunning photographs and maps. Oz turns his spotlight on each of the famous Bordeaux wine areas (including St-Emilion, Pomerol, Margaux and Pauillac) and also recommends hundreds of affordable, modern Bordeaux chateaux,recommended by style and price, for drinking today. Returning to his wine roots, Oz shows how, whatever crises may be affecting the French wine industry in general and the lower end of the market in particular, Bordeaux is, on the whole, in optimistic mode. However much we now appreciate wine from all over the world, there is still nothing quite as magical as the best bottles from the best producers in this historic wine region.

If you like the show, you'll love the book. He's annoying in a loveable sort of way and boy, does he know his plonk!

This is a great, comprehensive reference book to the world of Bordeaux wines. Having bought it for my husband when it first came out, we have since given it to a friend who is a wine collector and he is very pleased with it. Can highly recommend it for anyone wishing to learn a little more about the various wine houses - it gives an overall guide to the various regions within Bordeaux, and then breaks down into the various chateaux and their best vintages.
