Platter's Guide was conceived in 1978 by winelovers and print journalists John and Erica Platter, after reading Hugh Johnson's ground-breaking Pocket Wine Book.

But three decades, two Best Wine Guide Worldwide awards, and well over 1.5 million copies later, we'd like to think the Platters were onto something. Learn more
