I had my doubts about Mcinerney writing a wine book, but surprisingly he was very knowledgeable and the part that I didn’t like about it was the aspect I thought would be the most interesting – his writing style. It sucks, frankly. He switches gears about 10 times in a 3 page piece, throws anecdotes and paragraphs of information at you willy-nilly and then ends it without much of a conclusion. Also, the essays are articles from his magazine column, so there is a lot of overlap and similar phrasing which you many not notice month to month, but is sure obvious reading one chapter after another. Oh well, it’s a quick read and it is entertaining and informative, so I will say it’s OK. I will also say there are better books out there. Try “Red, White & Drunk All Over”.
