About the Author:
George Saintsbury (1845-1933) was a journalist, reviewer, critic, editor, and Professor of Literature at the University of Edinburgh. Thomas Pinney is Professor of English Emeritus at Pomona College. Among other books, he is author of A History of Wine in America (in two volumes from UC Press).
Review:
“An indispensable read.. . . Saintsbury's thoughtful love of drink comes through clearly.” (SF Chronicle 2008-11-28)
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 an historical document revealing how wines were once regarded and how times have changed.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 2008-12-01)
“If you love to drink wine, and love a good read, you have to get ahold of this book.” (Vinography 2009-04-19)
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 2008-12-11)
“Few wine books posses the iconic status of George Saintsbury’s Notes on a Cellar-Book.” (Wine Spectator 2008-12-31)
“There is much food for thought here, and a facinating window on another age of connoisseurship. “ (Jancis Robinson Jancisrobinson.com 2008-12-18)
“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 2008-12-01)
