Here he shares those secrets to give you the best 250 wines to buy in 2006 and where to buy them. Combined with invaluable advice on matching wine and food, a glossary of wine types and wine-producing areas, a directory of wine merchants and an index by retailer and an index by wine to make the book even easier to use, The Wine List "is the only guide you will ever need.
