Anyone know if the Ray Jordan Guide to WA Wine 08 is out?

Post by c6109 »

Hi there,

Would anyone know if the Ray Jordan Guide to WA Wines 08 is out yet?

I've searched the net and cannot seem to find any information to indicate if it has been released or when it is due.

We purchased it last year from a bookshop in Perth (Sydney didnt seem to stock it)...i rang the same Perth bookshop and they too didn't know.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

Really?
I bought one edition of this and found his notes to be so uncritical as to be worthless. A shame as I'm an unashamed fan of WA wines. Am I missing something?

regards

Ian

Not really. I avoid his notes too for that very reason.

Bartenders are supposed to have people skills. Or was it people are supposed to have bartending skills?

I picked up the 2005 book for a dollar at the newsagent at the Perth Airport last week if that is any help :wink:

Had a few gold books out for $2 bucks too but I thought that was still too expensive. :roll:

RAY JORDAN'S 2008 WA WINE GUIDE

Post by vinefinder »

You can get a copy of Ray's latest Wine Guide through his publishers WA Newspapers - phone Perth 08 9482 3111. It costs $28 and $4 for postage. I have just ordered one.

His previous guides were fairly comprehensive giving a good overview of the main WA producers. There are however quite a few smaller producers that do not register on his radar. For those vignerons you will need to go VineFinding -- just google vinefinders for more info
