Book Reviews of The Wines of France: The Essential Guide for Savvy Shoppers

Book Review: The one to get and give.
Summary: 5 Stars

Whether you are a debutante at choosing wines or a serious collector, this book is just what you've been wishing someone would write! Jacqueline Friedrich is already well-known in the food and wine writing world but her latest book is not only a handy "pocket tool" of a wine guide, it makes you feel like you've been given the keys to the cellar. Wow, just leafing through it as I walked back from the mailbox, I was grinning at many of the cleverly described entries and the way it works, with the crib sheets at the end of each region and the how-to-order-wine-in-a-restaurant appendix.

Get one for yourself and one for each of your friends whether they will be going to France any time soon or just wishing they were while opening a bottle of one of Jackie's recommended vintages.
