Media Reviews
"THE WINE AVENGER, a slim paperback, promises to transform the reader into 'a wine-food genius' in one hour. It doesn't. What it does is deliver, in a highly entertaining way, randomly clustered opinions, tips, observations and explanations. Gluckstern doesn't have likes and dislikes. He has mad love affairs and Balkan-style blood feuds....The real point of THE WINE AVENGER is the opinions, and Gluckstern is full of them. If you don't agree, tough." -- William Grimes
-- New York Times
