A DRINKER WITH A WRITING PROBLEM A Wine Lover's Retrospective

Whether they know a great deal or nothing about wine, listeners will enjoy John Turi's views--he reviews only wines he loves. Steve Carlson's sparkling narration adds flavor to his words. Turi covers everything about wine: labels (and the famous artists who have painted them), descriptions of appearance, ingredients, smell, and, of course, taste. Carlson's enthusiastic take keeps things lively, particularly when history is discussed in depth. Turi also includes quotes and information from fiction, nonfiction, and historical figures. Carlson excels at presenting wine-related quotations such as Coco Chanel's famous words: "I only drink champagne on two occasions, when I'm in love and when I'm not." This is a fun way to hear and learn a lot about wine quickly! S.G.B. © AudioFile 2015, Portland, Maine [Published: JANUARY 2015]
