Anthony Terlato's story is not simply the usual CEO narrative of achieving business success, nor i it the typical winemaker's tale of pursuing perfection in a glass. Straddling both of those stories, Terlato usesbroad strokes to showhow one individual had an enormous impact on Americans' wine-drinking habits. Wine journalist Linda Murphy described Terlato in the "San Francisco Chronicle" as "one of the most accomplished wine personalities on the planet," and readers of this account of a 50-year love affair with wine see this affable, intelligent man at his finest."

Review:

"It's a nearly ubiquitous sight in Italian restaurants, and now [in his] autobiography [Terlato] tells how he introduced Santa Margherita pinot grigio to the United States." H. Lee Murphy, "Crain s Chicago Business" "One thing is for certain: Terlato knows a lot about wine." Sarah Tobol, "Brooklyn Eagle" "This autobiography is a personable read in which Terlato talks about his close relationships with legends such as Alexis Lichine, Frank Schoonmaker, Robert Mondavi, Baroness Philippine de Rothschild, Michel Chapoutier and Angelo Gaja." Sandra Silfven, "Detroit News" "This is no tell-all book, but Terlato often reveals much by what he doesn't write. You sense the inner steel and discipline that made him a success in a competitive business." Bill Daley, "Chicago Tribune" "Terlato has cast a large shadow across Chicago s wine community for the better part of half a century...[and now] he has found time for recollection and reminiscence." William Rice, "Chicago Magazine" " "As a major player in bringing prestige wines here from the Old World and the New, Anthony "Tony" Terlato has cast a large shadow across Chicago's wine community for the better part of half a century. Now a senior statesman at 74, and with his two sons directing day-to-day operations of Terlato Wines International and the Terlato Wine Group, he has found time for recollection and reminiscence."--William Rice"Chicago magazine" (12/03/2008) "All autobiographies are intrinsically personal. Yet, this is also the story of how Americans over the last 50 years have come to know wine and how some of Terlato's business decisions have changed forever what we drink and why."--Bill Daley"Chicago Tribune" (12/10/2008)
