Review
His status as a wine and spirits writer has allowed him to travel the world and party with celebrities such as Kid Rock, Bono, the Culkin brothers and Bon Jovi, just to name a few. This just adds to the entertaining nature of the book. --

Booklist Online, June 2008Dunn is a wine and spirits columnist ... and thus spends vast amounts of time in a state of inebriation for what he refers to as "research purposes." In Quitter, Dunn tells of his adventures in the world of wine in a way that never ceases to amuse. --

The Daily Gamecock, University of South Carolina, November 16, 2007His hilarious memoir chronicles his voyages across the seas of booze-column stardom.
