a hedonist in the cellar
 |
a hedonist in the cellar “I’m more of a lover than a fighter,” claims Jay McInerney, author of “A Hedonist in the Cellar,” a collection of his essays on wine. And love wine he does. Long-time wine columnist of House and Garden magazine, the accomplished scribe is more likely to compare a wine to Pamela Anderson (she’s more Chardonnay than Chablis) than to some rarified horticultural bouquet. Read an essay per evening (glass of wine in hand) and you’ll not only garner valuable dinner party banter, but also be amused by the lively storytelling style. The cover is as charming as the writing: it’s covered in red wine rings, and fairly begs you to add your own. Saluté! View cover and buy “A Hedonist in the Cellar” (from $18.90) at www.amazon.ca |
