OZ CLARKE'S BORDEAUX SHORTLISTED FOR ANDRÉ SIMON MEMORIAL AWARDS FOR FOOD AND DRINK 2006!
– – Winner to be announced in April 2007 – –


Oz Clarke's Bordeaux covers each of Bordeaux's sub-regions in detail – their history, geography, climate, soils and grape varieties. All are brought to life with Oz's evocative descriptions and personal anecdotes amassed over many years and many visits; stunning photographs and six panoramic maps which give a bird's-eye-view of Bordeaux's top wine regions make the book a sumptuous visual treat as well. Over 300 of Bordeaux's most important châteaux are given detailed profiles and hundreds of others are recommended and described, with Oz's tasting notes and best vintage recommendations throughout.

Oz Clarke's Bordeaux features:

*  Thousands of wines tasted by Oz to bring you his Bordeaux Best Buys

*  A-Z of châteaux and their wines, including second wines and major high street brands

*  Oz's personal favourites appellation by appellation

*  This is the only book on Bordeaux to give recommendations for hundreds of affordable wines

*  Oz's tips on the best places to eat, drink, visit and buy wine in Bordeaux

Refreshingly witty and readable, and with the unbiased opinions and criticism one would expect from Britain's best-loved wine personality, this book is as much fun to read as it is a pleasure to drink the wines it recommends.
