Many years ago my favorite books on Burgundy and Bordeaux were
The Wines of Burgundy by H.W. Yoxall and The Wines of Bordeaux by Edmund Penning-Rowsell. These books are out of print and way out of date. Does anyone have any current favorites? Jim -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

It is about 1000 pages long, but easy to read and navigate. I also like THE WINES OF BORDEAUX also by Clive Coates with a copyright of 2004. It is over 700 pages long and well organized. The Parkerites likely will want one of Parker's books. |

The Bordeaux Atlas by Duijker & Broadbent is in the same league in my view. There is really no substitute for Cocks & Feret for the basic facts rather than opinion. Tim |

![]() "Making Sense Of Burgundy" by Matt Kramer. Like all of his writings easy to read and lots of good information.

I'll strongly second both the sadly out of print Kramer "Making Sense"
and the Coates Burgundy book (I need to get mine back!). I can't say I was as enthralled over Coates' Bordeaux book, though I liked parts . And can't really comment on the Parker "Bordeaux", as my edition is the 1985 (occasionally useful, to check vineyard makeup on older bottles). On the non-book front, I actually find Neal Martin's wine-journal.com to be an excellent source of information re Bordeaux . I disagree with him (sometimes vehemently) about some wines, but find the chateaux profiles informative. He covers other areas, but Bdx is his clear passion. I don't know of any website equivalent for Burgundy. Although yakshaya.com has some good stuff, as does John Gilman's old brokerage site http://bentleywine.com/news.htm. Actually the most enjoyable wine reading I've done recently is John's "View from the Cellar" newsletter. Certainly not comprehensive (it's a newsletter), nor cheap, but informative passionate reading. (disclaimer I'm in an occasional tasting group with JG). |
