That makes perfect sense now that I think about it. Thank you

You're welcome! But in fact, this wisdom came from a trip to the
Douro with George Sandeman (and from talks with Dirk van der
Niepoort); I don't remember having read abiout it in one of my
reference books.

books on my shelves might exceed 500.

General works:

- J. Robinson, Oxford Wine Companion

- H. Johnson, Wine Atlas

- F. Schoonmaker, Encyclopaedia of Wine

My favourite series is the Faber & Faber one edited by Julian Jeffs which
includes Alsace by Tom Stevenson, Burgundy by Anthony Hanson, Bordeaux by
David Peppercorn and French Country Wines by Rosemary George. In addition I
agree about the World Atlas of Wine and also like the Sotheby‘s Wine Atlas.
I would not be without either Duijker & Broadbent‘s Bordeaux Atlas or, of
course, Cocks & Feret. My annual most essential purchase is the Guide
Hachette des Vins.
