What they're saying

"Who's Afraid of Romanée-Conti? makes discovering great wine as exciting as the NME made discovering great music back in the day."

Mike Diamond, The Beastie Boys

"This book is amazing! –Engaging, empowering and without a scintilla of snobbery, this set off little explosions of excitement in me. It's your passport to pleasure."

Diana Henry

"In the world of fine wine and fine eats, Keeling's palate rules. Above all this Englishman is a literate man of taste, passion and talent. Bon appetit!"

Kermit Lynch, author of Adventures on the Wine Route

"No-one writes about wine like Dan Keeling. Who's Afraid of Romanée-Conti?is totally absorbing and just as importantly fun. Love it."

Angela Hartnett

"I love this book. There's pleasure on every page. It's essential reading for wine lovers and wine novices."

Keira Knightley

"Every word and thought here is shot through with verve, wit and often piercing snark. I dare you not to be engaged by the wisdom and writing of Dan Keeling. Do you need this collection of attitude-changing essays? If you care about wine (or want to) you absolutely do."

Alice Feiring, author of To Fall in Love, Drink This.
