Here at last is a unique book that gives a very personal account of the adventures that befall a wine merchant and after dinner speaker in pursuit of the finest wines and extraordinary stories from vineyards off the beaten track.

From Cape Town to Bordeaux and from Margaret River to Mendoza, Graham Mitchell takes us on a light-hearted journey of discovery. The world of wine has a fund of good stories and Mitchell knows some of the best. This is the inside track on the world of wine. Join Mitchell behind the labels to uncork the mysteries of wine. Huge tomes have been written about wine, reference and guide books abound, but none of them offer this intoxicating blend of humour, experience, anecdote and authority.

Charming, a splendid book, highly instructive, informative, and deliciously amusing... I laughed aloud. --Henry Blofeld
