‘Literary treasures are unearthed. Unless you have a heart of stone, you’ll fall in love with Colette, whose novels and essays not only celebrated wine, but also described it so well that she was deemed “our most perceptive wine writer”…’
Brian St Pierre, The World of Fine Wine 

In Vino Veritas is a gorgeous package, stunningly illustrated with exquisite colour and historic black and white photographs and handsomely bound with a blue ribbon marker.’
Neal D Hulkower, Journal of Wine Economics
