...I would recommend which will tell you those sorts of things in a way which will make you want to go out and taste every wine he talks about by Jay McInerney.

Bacchus and Me
Hedonist in the Cellar

He was a novelist who became a travel writer who then became a wine writer. Light-hearted and humourous, he rubs elbows with some of the greatest wine makers in the world a describes his experiences in a unique way.

For example, in discussing Oregon pinot noirs, he visits Domain Drouhin and describes two of their pinots in detail and then says - "This one is like Eric Clapton doing a cover of a blues song, but this one is his Layla."

Highly recommended.
