Customer Review: Useless
What good is a wine book in which the tasting notes are at least 14 months old? Virtually all of the most recent wines mentioned are long gone from retail shelves. Sure there are notes on wines released in the last few years, but the tasting notes are only the original tasting notes–no indication of what has happened to the wine since its release. All this work for naught. PASS PASS PASS IMHO.
