Parkers Wine Buyers Guide 6th Edition or Healthy Exchanges Diabetic Desserts Cookbook

Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide 6th Edition: The Complete, Easy-to-Use Reference on Recent Vintages, Prices, and Ratings for More Than 8,000 Wines from All the Major Wine Regions

Author: Robert M Parker

Thoroughly revised and updated, this sixth edition of the Parker's Wine Buyer's Guide has been eagerly awaited by seasoned collectors and occasional drinkers alike. No one wants to waste his or her precious dollars on an unenjoyable bottle, and with Parker's advice in hand, no one ever will. Employing his famous 100-point rating system, Parker rates more than 8,000 wines from all the major wine-producing regions in the world -- including newly expanded sections on the popular wines of California and Italy. Each wine producer is evaluated separately, and Parker's independence allows him to be completely honest in his opinions. In addition, the book includes other essential information, such as how to buy and store wine, how to spot a badly stored and abused bottle, and how to find the best wine values for under $10.

Library Journal

Parker, a well known wine expert and an excellent writer, reviews the wines of France, Italy, Germany, Portugal, Spain, California, and Oregon in depth. After a particularly well written beginning chapter that includes lots of helpful facts, he lapses into 600 pages of tasting notes and chatty commentary. For each region, he gives accurate, concise information and a summary of recent vintages. In addition to naming the best growers, he rates them and offers a buying strategy for investors. Parker also includes the retail price and his numerical rating for each wine. Tiny chapters on the ``best of the rest'' conclude the book. Offering much valuable information, the book has only minor flaws and is an excellent buy. Recommended for libraries with serious wine readers. Carolyn I.
