if one likes Ambrose Bierce and wine, (separately, of course!)one could hardly do better than to read this book. It is a wonderful dictionary of people and terms, written with decent accuracy and a sense of the tongue in cheek. I already learned form my uncle that Robert Parker is an ass, but it's fun to learn about how various people have affected the wine trade.

It was a very quick read. It's snarky enough to be entertaining even though you're reading a book in dictionary form. Its lack of snobbery makes it totally accessible and it's in its making fun of the snobbery of oenophilia that it derives its comedy.
