wine quotes to make one ponder! August 10, 2006
Love it - in line with my two passions - Quotes and Wine!
I own a wine company called The Wine Knot and I use the quotes in the book for wine dinners, wine tastings as well as my wine e-letters.
Quite frankly this book has become a great companion of mine for my love of wine!
A lot of fun with a number of different themes!
Cheers - Jerry
A MUST FOR THE ASPIRING OENOPHILE. February 18, 2005

This book is a must for both the beginning oenopile to the full blown wine enthusiast. But what sets this book apart from other wine publications is the beautiful artwork. It's worth the purchase price to view the whimsical cartoons done by John Schmelzer. A great read on the throne. Cheers.

If you ever find yourself looking to fill a few moments with something thoughtful then this is your book. I keep it in my study and I turn to it all the time. The book is filled with quips and quotes about my favorite subject -- wine. This book is basically the wine lovers little instructional book. You'll know that you are hooked when you, like me, "borrow" a couple of the more poignant quotes.
Unlike many other little instructional books, this book goes far beyond just throwing out a bunch of light-hearted sayings. Each section is opened with an informative introduction from a knowledgeable author. Both the novice and the expert will likely learn some unknown fact from a quick perusal of the book. Keeping in mind that the source of a quote can be its most interesting feature, the author has also given cites and references to the many sayings throughout the book.
Even the art work, which appears throughout the book, is splendid.
