The eminent wine critic (and author of Blood is Thicker than Beaujolais among other books) had this to say about The Heartbreak Grape: “A taste of Calera Jensen pinot noir set Marq de Villiers on an odyssey that will delight anyone who has ever taken pleasure from a glass of wine. This is Zen and the Art of Winemaking, a fascinating study of one man’s passionate pursuit of perfection captured in graceful prose. A magnificent obsession, a wonderful read.”
