After a long period when Bordeaux was all the rage, the wines of Burgundy are now back in fashion, and the region's greatest names represent for many the ultimate in vinous hedonism. They are sought out with increasing difficulty as worldwide demand exceeds a finite supply. Prices fetched at the celebrated Hospices de Beaune wine auction seem to be set in a permanent upward spiral. Today a new generation of growers is responsible for this renewed interest, making Burgundies of purity that wipe away memories of the heavy, artificial products of the 1960s and 1970s. But how is the wine lover to know which are the best without being an expert? In Burgundy, James Turnbull provides the answers, with a list of 90 domains and negociants who produce the top wines. They have been selected on the basis of two simple criteria: the quality and consistency of their production, and ratings over the course of numerous comparative tastings.

Two thousand years of wine-making and a climatic and geological environment second to none give Bordeaux good claim to being the most important and prestigious vineyard area in the world. A great wine expert, James Turnbull, presents his personal selection of 90 of the finest Bordeaux wines. A double page is devoted to each wine: one page shows the bottle illustrated full-size, in all its glory, to add to the pleasure of the wine lover. The other page carries all the essential information the reader will require about the wine. The text describes the vineyard and the history of the wine and its famous owners. It goes on to give a detailed description of each wine when tasted -- its richness, color, aroma.

Gould shows why a more accurate way of understanding our world is to look at a given subject within its own context, to see it as a part of a spectrum of variation and then to reconceptualize trends as expansion or contraction of this “full house” of variation, and not as the progress or degeneration of an average value, or single thing.
