In some respects, Vintage: The Story of Wine is the companion book to the masterful 1989 Hugh Johnson television series, Vintage: A History of Wine and it is what I am currently reading.
I just love the way Hugh Johnson writes, I really do. Hugh's inimitable style of wine-writing (once again, I can hear him narrating this book in my head), is simply a joy to read; it is articulate, conversational, learned, eloquent and fun. Mr. Johnson's writing is, dare I say it, intoxicating. I don't think there will ever be another wine-writer as good as Hugh.

Can't think of a better review.
NHW: If you haven't already read any of his books you should treat yourself immediately.
Aye.
