  The wine bookshop -- author
Oz Clarke takes something of a Year Zero approach to wine: forget the mystique, the reputations, the inflated prices, the snobbery--all that matters is the quality.
Oz Clarke is a great populariser, completely free of prejudice and cant, passionate (and serious, which is not the same thing at all) about his subject--qualities which are reflected in his Guide.
Through its unique cartography and Oz Clarke's lively prose, this revolutionary atlas illustrates and explains the vital connection between the land, the winemaker and his wine and shows how different landscapes as well as the skills of the winemaker contribute to the extraordinary range of flavours found in wine.

Oz Clarke's New Classic Wines is a major book about new world-class winemakers and their wines that should, in Oz's opinion, be regarded as 'New Classics'.
Oz Clarke's Wine Atlas, was published in October 1995 by Little, Brown and this book represents a unique approach to the world of wine, capturing the beauty of the world's great vineyard areas in spectacularly hand-painted panoramic maps and full-colour photographs.
Oz Clarke lives in West London, where, when not writing about wine, he likes to avoid drinking altogether (except for the occasional pint of Fuller's ESB), playing any sport he can lay his hands on and dreaming wistfully of lying on a palm-fringed sandy beach somewhere near to the Equator.

 Uncorked | The wizard   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Oz is a wine star, and his light shines bright (right up there in the heavens with last year’s keynote speaker, Oxford Guide to Wine author Jancis Robinson).
As far as Clarke is concerned, the Bordeaux, Burgundies, and Rhône wines favored by collectors have “run their course.” They are “mainstream throughout the world,” and therefore less interesting (and not as good a value for the money).
As to what to buy, Oz particularly likes certain producers and regions (in the United States, Pepperwood Grove and Fetzer are favorites at their price points), although he laments the fact that premium wine producers (who make those $7 to $10 bottles) make such boring, cookie-cutter wines, which do nothing to educate us wine-drinking folk.

 Amazon.com: Oz Clarke's Encyclopedia of Grapes: Books: Oz Clarke   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
In Oz Clarke's Encyclopedia of Grapes Clarke explains and illuminates these qualities with concise and vivid descriptions of the 350 major grape varieties of the world, in an easy-to-use, A-to-Z format.
Where Clarke, for instance, rightly notes Garnacha's potential, Robinson focuses on its ignoble role in the "wine lake,"-- in Garnacha's case, a particularly alcoholic and highly flammable one.
Yet, to be fair, Clarke has time on his side: this is a wonderfully up-to-date book and he's had a lot more time to analyze the frequently obscure potential of what were once relatively obscure grapes.
