"A new sort of literary gumption arrived on the scene with Andrew Jefford; a powerful blend of science and poetry. Here is a writer who does his interviews, delves deep into motives and methods, and then lets fly with whatever imagery he finds winging by." Hugh Johnson (2019) Poet, philosopher, author, radio presenter and journalist, Andrew Jefford lives in France; but buried deep in one wine country what does he miss most about the rest? The answer: "Drinking young port. It's the wine drinker's equivalent of zorbing, wing-walking, base-jumping ... you won't fully understand it unless you have tasted it young, in its 'Ride of the Valkyries' stage, when it comes hurtling out of the glass and puts the screamers on you..." Andrew is the ideal companion for anyone wine-curious. In this collection of his essays, opinions and articles he shares his fascinating observations from half a century of discovery.

About the Author
Andrew Jefford writes and broadcasts about different places on earth, and the foods, drinks and scents connected with them. He has written for most of the UK's wine and food press and has columns in Decanter and World of Fine Wine. Andrew and his family live near Montpellier in France. "One of my favorite wine journalists, and a guy who is up in the top echelon with Matt Kramer and Jancis Robinson... Andrew Jefford, has an exceptionally fair and balanced piece on the free Decanter magazine website called...."Wither Tasting Notes"... most people would think this goes to the heart and soul of many wine magazines, blogs, etc. but he, as he usually does, analyzes it in a rational way, something often missing in wine speak. BTW, his books, which I have consistently recommended, are another of his strengths. So heads-up." Robert Parker
