PositiveThe Los Angeles Review of BooksAs with a good bottle of wine, the experience of reading The Wine Lover’s Daughter deepens as the book unfolds … Fadiman’s memoir explores what it means to see, and what it means to lose the ability. In addition, it offers many pleasures: layers of bibliophilia, from children’s literature to Shakespeare, the strange habits of supertasters, pages of vino-notation … The Wine Lover’s Daughter, preoccupied as it is with art, literature, and taste, seems especially poignant.
