Reviews

“This is a beautifully written book, reflective, sometimes ruthlessly so, occasionally sad and often funny. I started reading skeptically and found I could not put it down. One can only hope for a sequel.”—The New York Times, “Best Wine Books of 2024” “This funny, fluidly written memoir . . . sends Hoffman into the lives of his neighbors and the vineyards of his community, where his curiosity, humility, and labor serve to cohere his vision of France, his family, and himself.”—Food & Wine, “Our Favorite Food Books of 2024” “Sentences . . . so polished that you will marvel at their brilliance.”—The Washington Post “Hoffman is a reflective and often lyrical writer . . . [his] newfound abilities—and the bumpy road to acquiring them—could be put to use in a very bingeable Netflix series.”—The Wall Street Journal, “The Best Books for Every Type of Wine Lover This Holiday Season” “It’s quite possibly the best autobiography I’ve ever read.”—Tamlyn Currin, Jancis Robinson sustainability editor and staff writer
