I think that VI has filled an important need for a relatively up-to-date reference on the big picture of Italian wine. That said, if you read my full review of the book you'll see that I too have some reservations about its overall message.<BR/><BR/>While I've dumped the occasional bad wine down the sink, I've not yet moved into the realm of tossing unloved wine books in the circular file.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the recommendation on the VI buying guide.David McDuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03274955351036700406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-17629938745194457242008-03-06T21:42:00.000-05:002008-03-06T21:42:00.000-05:00I hate to say it, but "Vino Italiano" is hardly my...I hate to say it, but "Vino Italiano" is hardly my favorite wine book. I tossed out my copy only to be given another for Christmas. The same authors' "Buying Guide" is, on the other hand, a gem -- extremely concise, useful and discerning.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01725976052192059572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8017457764988110566.post-71565509460392883452008-03-05T10:13:00.000-05:002008-03-05T10:13:00.000-05:00Thank you, Edward.
