If you missed Steve Almond's CandyFreak: A Journey Through The Chocolate Underbelly Of America in hardcover, be sure not to miss it in paper (01560-32937, $13.00): the humor and facts are smooth, rich and sweet indeed. Steve Almond couldn't find many of his favorite chocolate childhood candies, and embarked on a journey to find them, discovering the last small candy producers and specialty candy-makers in the country in the process of his journey. Blend candy facts, a travelogue, humor and a memoir and you have a delicious read indeed. Oz Clarke's Australian Wine Companion: An Essential Guide For All Lovers Of Australian Wine (015403025X, $19.95) is a 'must' for any who would explore Australian wines with one of the most famous wine writers in the world. Divided by grape growing region and regional producers, this doesn't just list wineries and their specialties: it also provides both background history and insights into how the winery has changed since its establishment; in the process revealing much about Australian wine industry history as a whole. Whether you're a destination-oriented wine enthusiast or an armchair reader/drinker, Australian Wine Companion is the first starter kit.
