Praise for Oz Clarke’s Pocket Wine Guides:
“Reliable Source, Solid Advice: His ‘top value wines’ and ‘best look-alikes to the classics’ repay the cost [of the book].”
–The New York Times
“For an omnibus guide to wine, the competition comes down to Clarke and Hugh Johnson. Clarke wins hands down.”
–Wine Spectator
“These lively, informative, well-written books from this multitalented wine writer offer candour and lively prose . . . The witty Oz Clarke is also a terrific taster.”
–Robert Parker
