refreshing

Wine does loosen the tongue and many memorable pages have been delivered throughout the ages. A most delightful selection of texts and a wonderful way of of enhancing the shared pleasures of a good bottle. Besides the classics, some wonderful iconoclastic yankee views on what can easily degenerate into a snobbish cult. If wine has a soul, I want Brian St.Pierre to be the gate keeper to that heaven. A lovely anthology. Reginald Duquesnoy Bristol-GB
