"An entrancing companion for wine lovers. Celebratory, discerning
writing with all the variety and unexpectedness of the wines
explored." - Michele Roberts, author and Emeritus Professor of

Andrew is the ideal companion for anyone wine-curious. In this
collection of his essays, opinions and articles he shares his
fascinating observations from half a century of discovery. For
Andrew, wine should be listened to and admired, wherever it comes

disdained; stellar prices dismissed; questions asked...
