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 an historical document revealing how wines were once regarded and how times have changed.--Bloomberg News A glimpse into our viticultural past, as well as a revelation of how great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 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
