Perfect "on the go" wine reference

I own the 2002 version of this almost pocket-sized book published by Beverage Media Group. The binding is nearly torn off I have found so much use for it. If the Oxford Companion to Wine is the must have encyclopedic reference book then the Professional Wine Reference is the must have miniature reference book. You can take it with you anywhere and look up a map of Alsace, information on the Jura or the meaning of Recioto all on a moments notice. It's your pint sized ticket to sounding smart about wine!

The best Pocket Wine Book

I discovered this little book several years ago while teaching beverage operation at a community college. Written by a professional known mostly by other professionals (he was U.S. representative of the Revue du Vin de France in Paris) it is a pocket book that is not only concise but amazingly thorough, useful for the expert who can't remember the total acreage of Romanée-Conti and the neophyte wanting to know what Trockenbeerenauslese means.

Loved it

I had this book in my library before, and it is very helpful in the search for great wines and the information about them.
