From the Back Cover --

DESERT ISLAND WINE is the funniest, most original collection of wine stories to be found.  Hilarious media reports and interviews, literary parodies and dialogues, touch on every aspect of our reaction to wine.  Quality rankings, complexity, acidity, filtration, terroir and other obsessions are thoughtfully skewered.  All of this is capped by the author’s reflections on drinking the same wine daily – his ‘desert island wine.’

A special feature is the author’s presentation of his meticulously researched discovery of the Greek grape that is the ancestor of cabernet:  the volitsa (the ancient balisca).
