French wine and New?
Excellent book showing the huge changes we are now seeing in the oldest of old world wine areas. Andrew deals with each region of France seperately and is very informative both about the changes in each region, but also about the new wave of winemakers, using a combination of new world techniques, and old world knowledge to produce exceptional wine.

factual, easy to read
Avery concise and well set out book, you can pick it up and find exactly what you want. The guide and map illustrations to the different regions are clear and the information given exactly what is needed. One of the best guides to understanding living in France that I have read and I would definitely recommend it

The Rough Guide to the Loire Valley
Why, oh why didn't this wonderful guide exist 20 years ago? Day after laborious day of being dragged around chateaux and wine producers by eager parents during summer holidays could have been avoided.For on a recent, and dreaded, return trip to the Loire Valley I was amazed to have a whole new side to the region revealed to me -and all thanks to this impeccable Rough Guide. It is as informative and useful as all Rough Guides tend to be, with a good mix of factual as well as historical details, but it is also written by someone who clearly knows what it is to be a traveller. For the text contains asides that I don't believe any other guide would feature -and it this stuff that gives one the feeling of having discovered the valley for oneself. Fluent, clear and at times very witty, this guide can only be described as an absolute must. Bring it on for the guide of all guides.
