5.0 out of 5 stars Yes, You Can Add Wine Connoisseur To His Resume, October 28, 2008

Aung Htun (811 Lavina St. Fort Wayne IN 46802-4030) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sailing Designs Volume Five (Paperback)

".....Bob has written more than a thousand design reviews for Sailing.
I've edited many of them and read them all.
And now,
I think I'll read his latest reviews,
collected here, again.
They're worth it,
his best ever,
works that are substantial but also lively and spicy---
likt the big,
toasty cabernet sauvignons Bob admires.

YES,
YOU CAN ADD WINE CONNOISSEUR TO HIS RESUME."
[from the book of the back cover by Bill Schanen, Editor and Publisher, SAILING Magazine]
