James Halliday Wine Companion

Completely updated and revised, this indispensable and authoritative guide offers in-depth information on Australian wines. Detailed tasting notes for nearly 6,000 wines—including those made from unusual varieties or using special techniques—and regional vintage rating charts are provided as well as information on each wine's optimal drinking conditions, closure, alcohol content, and price. Listing times, contact information, webaddresses, and thorough profiles for more than 1,500 wineries are combined with a regional index of food, accommodations, music events, and cellar-door sales to facilitate travel planning.
