Refreshingly witty & 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 & the region is brought to life by Oz with his evocative descriptions & personal anecdotes, accompanied by stunning photographs & maps. Oz turns his spotlight on each of the famous Bordeaux wine areas (including St-Emilion, Pomerol, Margaux & Pauillac) & also recommends hundreds of affordable, modern Bordeaux chateaux, recommended by style & price, for drinking today. Returning to his wine roots, Oz shows how, whatever crises may be affecting the French wine industry in general & 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.
