Oz Clarke's Wine Companions
A unique, two-for-the-price-of-one
concept offering a double-sided, fold-out Poster Map plus a Guidebook for
each of the world's great wine regions, this series is a must for anyone
interested in wine – tourists and armchair travellers alike. The Poster
Maps feature unique bird's-eye view panoramic maps, published here at full
size for the first time. The Guidebooks include easy-to-follow wine tours,
incorporating the great names and more out of the way 'finds', as well as
entries on appellations and wine villages. They also give extensive A–Z
listings of
wine growers and merchants, with assessments and
recommendations, and authoritative hotel, restaurant
and wine shopping
recommendations.
Read Oz Clarke's evocative prose in the Fold-out Maps for a vivid picture
of the wine-producing area, then let the companion Guidebooks take you on
a regional tour. The Guidebooks are written by an impressive line-up of
