Blood From a Stone

History & Biography

“What a treat to read a wine book about something other than 'tasting notes.' Who cares whether you find that a wine smells like cherries or berries or Ethiopian coffee beans? How boring! Adam McHugh is after a more interesting game. History, religion, and his passion for one of his God's greatest gifts, for example. Page by page his wine pilgrimage, as he calls it, grows more interesting, humorous, and soulful.”

“Gisela Kreglinger is religious and I’m not, which did not at all stop me from enjoying her delicious new release much more than most contemporary wine books. Too often we are expected to appreciate someone’s personal “tasting notes”—how boring! Gisela’s book is not a guide, more like a path. With a welcome simplicity and joyous spirituality, she delivers profound reflections on wine’s place in our culture. Her take on the biblical view of wine surprised and delighted me, deepening my appreciation of wine’s place in my own life.”
