Writing stellar is superb and will make you beeline for the wine shoppe.

I haven't read any of McInerney's fiction, but with my increasing obsession with/enjoyment of wine, I really enjoyed this book. The pieces are drawn from McInerney's wine columns in House & Garden magazine, and are somewhat repetitive at times, and sometimes there were just too many detailed names to keep track of, but I feel like I learned a lot anyway. I'm glad I bought the book as opposed to getting it from the library so that I can use it as a resource for years to come.
