Penin Guide to Spanish Wine

The 2007 Penin Guide To Spanish Wine has recently been released in the US. It is considered one of the most definitive books on Spanish wine. It has only been available in English for a few years. I have copies of the 2006 and 2007 guides and think they are excellent books.

The Penin Guide is is a trade-sized paperback book that has over 1100 pages! The first few hundred pages of the Guide is an interesting educational section on wine in general, with some specifics on Spanish wines and their history. The rest of the book consists of thousands of wine reviews and listings for the wines and wineries of Spain. It also provides information of the current vintage in Spain and specific information on each D.O.

The Guide normally sells for $36 but it is currently on sale on Amazon for only $23.76 (a 34% discount). If you love Spanish wines, or want to learn more about them, then I recommend this book.
