Writer's Opinion gets in the way of Information, Mar 11 2012
This review is from: Sotheby's Wine Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I purchased this "encyclopedia" instead of the Oxford one---mistake. The information is not compiled in an encyclopedic format and after a while starts to become Mr. Stevenson's ratings of which wines he likes and which he does not. Just his palate. I can appreciate that he has been exposed to many wines from many regions, but his sometimes arrogant opinions get in the way of providing good, concise information. This combined with the poor layout of this book makes me not recommend it anyone; there are much better resources available for both the new to wine and the experienced consumer.
