Quote:
Vino Italiano is the only comprehensive and authoritative American
guide to the wines of Italy. It surveys the country?s wine-producing
regions; identifies key wine styles, producers, and vintages; and
offers delicious regional recipes. Extensive reference materials?on
Italy?s 300 growing zones, 361 authorized grape varieties, and 200 of
the top producers? provide essential information for restaurateurs and
wine merchants, as well as for wine enthusiasts.
End quote.

19 5*; 3 4* reviews.

Sounds like an interesting read. I've no idea how Bastianich is rated
as an expert, or just a lover of wines.

Did you read the reviews on Amazon? Why don't you spring for the 23.10 and
trust your own judgement?

Yes, I did read the reviews; I was asking this group for its
opinion. I do trust my own judgment; I am asking for this group's
judgment; perhaps there may be some others that are interested in this
groups opinions - I consider most pretty informed.

"Spring" for something? Hmm -- does that suggest that I might be
cheap? Hahahahaha!

Dee Dee,

Sorry Dee Dee. Didn't mean to be condesending or insulting. I was the guy
that posted the tiny URL for the wine book. I'm the cheapskate. Great read,
buy it.
