- “I have known John for many years and have always appreciated his palate and writing style. He fully understands and respects the importance of terroir in the history of wine, and his willingness to champion traditional estates that produce wines of terroir is a great value in today’s market. While Burgundy is his first passion, he also writes beautifully about wines from other regions such as Champagne, the Loire, Bordeaux, Alsace and Germany. I recommend View From the Cellar highly to anyone who is interested in understanding traditional wines and the vignerons who produce them.”
