The discussion of Pomerol, for example, tells you a g reat deal in one short page. Even since 1994, when the fourth edi tion came out, vast changes have swept the wine world, and many p arts of the atlas have been correspondingly completely reworked. South America, Canada, Southern France, Italy, Greece, Eastern Eu rope, and the Eastern Mediterranean are among the areas that have benefited. The regional maps that form the core of the book are a triumph of clarity. The whole production constitutes a brillian t achievement of organization and synthesis, forming an indispens able resource for any wine lover at all interested in where the w ine they drink comes from and why it tastes the way it does. --Ro bin Davidson ., Mitchell Beazley, 2006, 3<
