Summary: You have to be an expert
Comment: Being an avid 'winey', and an Australian, I was excited to receive the bible on Antipodeon wines. Well I was a little disappointed; If you are thoroughly versed with the regions in Aus and NZ, then this is perfect for you; But being 8 years removed from my country, I discovered that the lack of info on specific regions was a negative for this publication. I find Hugh Johnson's guide a far more useful tool(although he does not reference the wineries as thoroughly).
Rating: 4
Summary: A mostly excellent overview.
Comment: This wine is a good guide for those interested in Australia & New Zealand wine. I do have two quibbles: Mr. Halliday does not seem to always specify when a particular wine is available in the US, and the index is a mess. All the wines are indexed according to the region they're from - so you can't just look up Hunter's, Allan Scott or Cloudy Bay in the index UNLESS you know what region they're from! I feel this second quibble is actually a somewhat serious problem that should be adjusted in future editions. Otherwise, a great sourcebook.

Summary: It gets better and better..
Comment: James Halliday has done it again. This is still THE bible of AU/NZ wineinformation. In this new 2001 edition, we finally (a long time wish) see a rating of the best AU & NZ producers of various grapes (eg CS, CS blends, Shiraz's, etc). Some vintage information is also included now. Again, even more producers are included (than the previous year) and the books seems to grow and grow.. I still would like some label-photos, although..
Verdict: a 'must buy' for anyone who wants a thorough overview of the best wines/producers/vintages/etc of Australia and New Zealand...
