There are lots of books on wine, but below is a selection of the best in class. They are a great starting point. Beware, some of these are for wine geeks only.
Where to go? Chapters offers a good selection, but Barbara Jo steals the show. Amazon.ca or .com might offer them cheaper -don't forget to add shipping costs-, will show book reviews, and might even give you a peek at a few sample pages. You can try the Book Warehouse for bargains. The selection is sparse, but most of the time they have a copy of The World Atlas.
