PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
George Saintsbury (1845–1933) was a journalist, reviewer, critic, editor, and Professor of Literature at the University of Edinburgh. Thomas Pinney is Emeritus Professor of English at Pomona College. Among other books, he is author of A History of Wine in America (in two volumes from UC Press).
An indispensable read.. . . Saintsbury's thoughtful love of drink comes through clearly. * SF Chronicle * As much a model for wine writing as . . . an historical document revealing how wines were once regarded and how times have changed. -- John Mariani * Bloomberg News * A glimpse into our viticultural past, as well as a revelation of how great wine and great literature can go hand-in-hand. * Good Wine Under $20 * If you love to drink wine, and love a good read, you have to get ahold of this book. * Vinography * Few wine books posses the iconic status of George Saintsbury's Notes on a Cellar-Book. * Wine Spectator * Read this book twice: once without pausing to flip back and forth-you'll be beguiled, befuddled and amused-and then once with the notes. * The Wine News * There is much food for thought here, and a facinating window on another age of connoisseurship. -- Jancis Robinson * Jancisrobinson.com *
