![]() ![]() Jefford, of course, is not a dedicated wine critic, spending his days cranking out hundreds of tasting notes from regions around the world. Very few people writing in the English language are as thoughtful, incisive, lyrical, and passionate about wine as Jefford.Īs a fellow writer (and, I should say, a friend-just to get that disclaimer out of the way), I often find Jefford’s writing maddening in its elegance, and I frequently marvel at how he manages to make fairly profound insights seem so effortless. If you happen to be someone who has not yet encountered Jefford’s work, oh boy do I have a treat for you. Many of my readers will be familiar with Jefford, thanks to his long tenure as both a columnist for Decanter magazine and a contributor to the World of Fine Wine. It took me a long time to begin writing this book review because I absolutely refused to skim a single page of Andrew Jefford’s recently published compilation of nearly 15 years of wine writing. And then there are wine books to be savored. There are wine books to be studied with intensity. ![]()
