Rambling but interesting... 2 out of 5 stars.

Not much help for a casual student of wine looking to begin a cellar, but still an interesting read. He tends to focus very much on Australian wines (since he is from that land) and speaks mostly of wines that none of us can get, much less afford.
wonderful overview about cellaring 5 out of 5 stars.

As a beginner to cellaring I enjoyed reading this book very much. It affords all important informations about every aspects of cellaring. The authors' special collecting experience(15000 bottles or more!) and tasting experience(old wine up to one or 2 centuries) was great and made me wondering about every bottle in my small cellar cabinet. I appreciated his comments about the cellaring potential of various grape varieties, and especially had a new understanding about white wines. Many information on Australian wines, too. Very interesting and wonderful. Good for everyone liking to collect wines.
