 One of the best wine books I've read... June 7, 2007

Witty and humorous and packed with real-world examples that stay in your memory.
 Practical but off-putting February 6, 2007
3 out of 9 found this review helpful
Beyond the valuable practical advice offered in this book, particularly in using Excel to organize a wine collection, and helpful delineation of wine collector "types", I was put off by the obvious focus on ueber expensive wines and the sexist nature of many of the comments and stories.
Entertaining Wine Tales and Practical Advice June 15, 2006
Carte du Vin proprietor Jeff Smith spins highly entertaining tales and offers excellent practical advice largely based on his time in other people's cellars. Depending on your wine budget, Smith's experiences will offer either vicarious thrills or buying suggestions. Those with small cellars will want to organize them using Smith's system. Those with large cellars will want to hire this man.
Great Stuff for the Wine Lover Unorganized or Not May 26, 2006
3 out of 6 found this review helpful
As most of my friends and family know, I love wine. I most partial to the Cabs, BUT if the mood and food call for it I like a Shiraz too. However, they also know I'm too busy to keep anything in any kind of order. This book is great. Offering insight to collectors and how to keep inventory. I am now proud of collection and more importantly I know what's in it. The Best Cellar is smart, funny, and great for any wine lover from a 'perfectionist' to a 'wannabe'.
A Must Read May 17, 2006
Now, I get it. My wines were a mess, but The Best Cellar is a huge help in getting my cellar organized. It is also enjoyable to read.
