Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines: An Expert's Guide to Maximum Enjoyment for Your Dollar
Author: Daniel Johnnes
You don't have to be a wine expert to get a good deal on a great bottle. Without using stuffy, technical terms, award-winning wine director Daniel Johnnes lays out all the basics you need to find today's best wine values.
Library Journal
Sommelier to three New York restaurants, Johnnes offers contemporary advice on wines to try and buy. Following concise explanations of grape varieties and the making, tasting, and serving of wine, he addresses some common misconceptions about wine and food. His selections for the top 200 wines are grouped by the handy designations of body and color and explained through information about the winery, winemaker, area, and/or wine itself. The price and a food match are also included. Johnnes's advice is basically sound, and reasonably priced wines are well represented. Unfortunately, some wines may not be easily found. Johnnes also offers specific recommendations for setting up an instant cellar for $500, $1000, or $5000-a formula of limited interest to real oenophiles, who make cellar decisions to suit their personal taste. Further, specific recommendations will be somewhat dated in a year or two. There isn't much that is new here. Recommended only for libraries maintaining exhaustive collections on this topic.-Carolyn I.

You'll certainly enjoy the fruits of your culinary labor more if you choose the right wine for your meal. My favorite beginner's guide to good, moderately priced wine is Daniel Johnnes's Top 200 Wines: An Expert's Guide to Maximum Enjoyment for Your Dollar. Johnnes is wine director at Restaurant Montrachet, in New York City, which the Wine Spectator consistently places at or near the top of its restaurant wine-list ranking. In a field known for florid descriptions, Johnnes soeaks unambiguously. His explanations are clear, and his recommendations work. I know: I've sipped my way through most of them. Novices should note his "Hot Shots" list of wine producers to look for. "Dont buy on the basis of appellation or vintage," cautions Johnnes "[Buy] on the standing of the winemaker will make good wines year after year."— Fast Company

Nutrition and Alcohol: Linking Nutrient Interactions and Dietary Intake

Over the past decade, much has been learned about the damaging effects of moderate to severe alcohol use has on tissue nutrient levels and dietary intake. Summarising current research, Nutrition and Alcohol explores the latest data available on the effects of alcohol on the nutritional state of alcohol abusers. It illustrates the combined effects of malnutrition on tissue damage and examines the role of altered nutrition on various alcohol-related diseases. The authors discuss alcohol's effects on nutrient intake and explain the action of nutrients in preventing and treating alcohol-related diseases.
