Reviews
"Nicholas O'Connell's level of experience is phenomenal: his decades of making wine, his writing style, and his obsession with making wine. This feels like once-in-a-lifetime work because it includes twenty-plus years of living, social drinking, and learning about wine. It is a memoir mirrored by winemaking. It is humble and humorous. Nothing else touches it."--Mike Medberry, author of The Dark Side of the Moon and viticulturist at Frog's Tooth Winery, "Enjoy a spirited memoir that ferments passion, precision and the pursuit of craft. Nicholas O'Connell's Crush is a vivid, behind-the-scenes journey into the world of winemaking--equal parts romantic and rigorous."--Wendy Kendall, My Edmonds News, "I'd wager there aren't many wine lovers who haven't fantasized, at least for a minute, about making their own wine. Nicholas O'Connell helps you scratch that itch without having to deal with swarms of fruit flies or take-their-time fermentations. O'Connell has taught writing for decades, and his considerable skills show in his vivid account of turning grapes into wine."--Dorothy J. Gaiter, senior editor of Grape Collective, " Crush is a lighthearted paean to winemaking as a unique pastime 'combining the ephemeral and the eternal.'"--Rebecca Foster, Foreword Reviews, "Nicholas O'Connell's level of experience is phenomenal: his decades of making wine, his writing style, and his obsession with making wine. This feels like a once-in-a-lifetime work because it includes twenty-plus years of living, social drinking, and learning about wine. It is a memoir mirrored by wine making. It is humble and humorous. Nothing else touches it."--Mike Medberry, author of The Dark Side of the Moon and viticulturist at Frog's Tooth Winery, "Nicholas O'Connell's Crush is a lively, personal tour through the joys--and travails--of making wine and is also packed with information and insights about wine in general. It's an engaging read for anyone who starts feeling that crazy itch that they'd like, someday, to make their own wine--or for anyone who loves wine."--Ray Isle, executive wine editor of Food & Wine and wine and spirits editor for Travel + Leisure

Synopsis
Nicholas O'Connell's apprenticeship at California's Stag's Leap Wine Cellars lays the groundwork for Crush , an exclusive look at the daily operations of some of the world's most prestigious wineries and famous winemakers and a lively, down-to-earth description of the wine making process., In Crush Nicholas O'Connell provides a behind-the-scenes look at the daily operations of some of the world's most prestigious wineries on the West Coast. This insider's view of the wine world includes the intense competition for the best grapes, the bizarre lingo of the tasting rooms, and the visionary winemakers who magically transform grapes into high-end wine. It is a world that includes not only romance and refinement but long hours, backbreaking labor, mind-numbing repetition, and fanatical dedication to quality. Such devotion resulted in the 1973 Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet that won the best red wine at the 1976 Judgment of Paris and transformed the U.S. wine industry. O'Connell's quest to master the art of wine making begins in his garage. From there he embarks on an apprenticeship at Betz and DeLille Cellar and other great wineries in California, Oregon, and Washington. He provides a first-person, ground-up view of a business not yet fully explored despite record interest in wine. O'Connell also includes conversations with some of the world's most gifted vintners, including Warren Winiarski, former owner of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars. Wine is surrounded by a seemingly impenetrable cloud of descriptors--"wet dog," "kumquats," "cat pee"--and a fog of pretention. Crush pierces this fog with colorful, concrete storytelling, in-depth portraits of famous winemakers, and a lively, down-to-earth description of the process by which wine is made: not in the critic's mind but in the winery and vineyard.

Auction said 12-15 days. Better clarity would have prevented lot of frustration
