Re: guides to wines.  Bookstores are full of them.  Most cost more
than they're worth and sing hosannas about "great" labels that most
people can't afford.  My preference is for the kind of book that is
a general guide only (types, regions, vintages, shippers, reputations)
and then to experiment.  A well-stocked liquor store should have one
employee who knows something about the merchandise.  There is a series
of pocket-size wine books published in England by Beasley (sp?) and
printed here by Simon & Schuster.  One or two of those should get you
going
