The Wine Report 2004

by Tom Stevenson, 08/03

On 25th September my new annual wine guide will be published, called THE WINE REPORT. Towards the bottom of this page you can dowload my four-page introduction taken from the book, free of charge.


  Wine Report is such a different concept from any other annual guide, that I thought a brief introduction would be of interest to wine-pages readers. What makes it so unique? Each year, Wine Report provides a one-stop update to what has happened in the world of wine during the previous 12 months, full of inside information on every wine region. One person could not possibly keep up with all of this on an annual basis. It takes me several years to update a single edition of The New Sotheby’s Wine Encyclopedia. This is why I have assembled a team of specialists – and not just any specialists. These are the guys and girls I respect the most in their respective subjects – the ones I would turn to if I needed some inside help. So, it is nothing but the best: Clive Coates MW on Burgundy, David Peppercorn MW on Bordeaux, and Richard Mayson on Portugal, for example. Another contributor might be familiar to you: a certain Mr Tom Cannavan on Wine on the Internet.

Wine Report 2004 will be published by Dorling Kindersley on 25 September, 2003, but you can click here to pre-order from Amazon UK at a 20% saving (click here for Amazon US).
