	The New York Times Book of Wine

	This one's available in paperback for around $5.

	It's arranged like an encyclopedia and contains descriptions
	of every wine producing district in the western world, and every
	winery of note is listed according to region.  

	The book will give you details on the winemaking process,
	importation, etc.

	The real problem with this book is that there are absolutely no
	wine reviews, just general comments on wines and winemaking.  The
	guide will NOT tell you that Geyser Peak has produced an excellent
	Chardonnay every year since '78, but it will tell you where Geyser
	Peak is located, and maybe when it was founded, it will also tell
	you where the Chardonnay grape comes from, and when it should be
	picked, etc.
