Since its first publication in 1920, George Saintsbury's classic
Notes on a Cellar-Book has remained one of the greatest tributes to
drink and drinking in the literature of wine. A collection of
tasting notes, menus, and robust opinions, the work is filled with
anecdotes and recollections of wines and spirits consumed—from
the heights of Romanée-Conti to the simple pleasures of beer,
flip, and mum. Thomas Pinney brings this unique work alive for
contemporary audiences by providing the keys to a full
understanding of Notes on a Cellar-Book in a new edition that
includes explanatory endnotes, an essay on the book's legacy, and
additional articles on wine by Saintsbury.
