Media Reviews
a no-nonsense, no-waffle style... good value * Jane MacQuitty, The Times *
'a great value, all-encompassing book.' * Decanter *
'For anyone who wants to feel more confident about buying wines.' * Harpers Wine & Spirit *
'A clear and well written guide' * 'New Bordeaux' - Jane Anson's blog *

once I started reading it I realised what what an excellent book it is.
I found Choosing the Right Wine to be an easy and enjoyable read for such a factual book, and while the book can be dipped into for the topics that interest you, it is also suitable for reading from cover to cover
