Wine Library

[wondersofwine]

"French Wines" by Robert Joseph was an impulse buy for me last time I was in Barnes and Noble. It's pretty good and covers (briefly) wines from obscure regions like Touraine. I had bought a white wine from Touraine and really didn't know much about what to expect. Pretty well organized too.

Cote d'Or by Clive Coates is THE comprehensive book on Burgundy. Of course, the vintages described are not the ones currently being released but it gives you background on the domaines, appellations, vineyard methods, etc., etc. and specifics about a lot of tastings.

I'm on the quest for a recent and fairly thorough book on German wines.
