Good Update
The book is a needed update: the world of wine moves ever forward, and many appellation systems throughout the world are in flux. New sections on cooperages, glassware, and an expanded variety section are good additions. The producer profiles remain a little disappointing in some areas, and as always Stevenson makes his own opinions and views very apparent–an occasionally awkward approach for an encyclopedic tome, but ultimately a refreshing one.
Stevenson is never something to be read from cover to cover, but this book will likely remain on your shelf as a resource for years to come, and every fresh look brings some new detail to light.
