(4 stars) - Excellent wine book
The 2006 didn't let me down from a good friend's recommendation and this one has even more info. Gives you the basic guides through each regions wines and is easily taken into the Wine store without drawing attention to yourself. Use the book as a guide and don't fully rely on the # of stars.

(5 stars) - Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2009 - a must have
Hugh Johnson's Pocket Wine Book 2009 is a terrific wine book to have when you go into a restaurant or wine store anywhere. Wherever you are worldwide, you are prepared, Texas or Australia. For example, Hardys was on al our restaurant menus during business trips to Australia. We learned which vintages of Hardys wines are ready to drink, Hardys wines are from several areas, Hardys is part of the world's largest wine group, and which series of Hardys wines are best. The book tells beginners which wines go well with various dishes such as Beef Stroganoff, and why local wines and local food are a good choice. 10 million copies of Hugh Johnson's pocket wine books have been sold and for good reason.

(5 stars) - A little gem of a book
This handy pocket size wine book is chock full of information that will help you to select just the right wine for any occasion. We take it with us when we go to the local wine merchant and we refer to it quite a bit while we are in the store. If you love wine (like we do) and are confused on which one to buy, then this is the book for you!

(5 stars) - Hugh Johnson's wine guide
A concise, very helpful guide to the world's principal over. My "bible" for well over 20 years.

(4 stars) - Dense, but Interesting
Comprehending Johnson's myriad codes, symbols and abbreviations is a little daunting, but there is a ton of information here. The actual wine notes are less specific than I was hoping, however.
