Jacques-Louis Delpal tirelessly to improve his excellent book on the agreements and the new edition at a very affordable price appears to be particularly inviting and pleasant to use.
The book is organized into major sections: appetizer, starters, seafood, fish, poultry, veal, beef, pork, lamb, game, great food, cheese, desserts. In each section, foods are ordered not alphabetically but by similarity, the most common dishes usually come first. This mode of classification is very convenient to use, it is fairly easy to find something without even need to go through the index at the end of the book.

The word ‘pocket’ in the book’s title seems to get smaller and smaller as the guide grows and grows. It now contains over 1,600 items.
The A-Z format makes the book very simple to use for quick reference purposes and it is particularly strong on its winery entries. Take, for instance, Fonseca Port. Oz writes, ‘Fonseca Vintage*** is magnificent, the aged tawnies** uniformly superb and Bin No. 27* one of the top premium rubies’.

Wines of Spain by Jan Read
wines of Spain
