Stalin's Wine Cellar

The adventure of a lifetime to buy Stalin's secret multimillion dollar wine cellar located in Georgia; it is the Raiders of the Lost Ark of wine. 'A wild, boys-own adventure . . . it's quite the ripping yarn' - Herald Sun 'A twisting, true tale of vinous espionage that brings more than a splash of Fleming or Forsythe to the wine-book realm.' - The Australian 'The ultimate wine-meets-history tale.' - Gourmet Traveller 'A seriously rollicking read.' - GQ An incredible true story, Stalin's Wine Cellar is a wild, sometimes rough ride in the glamorous world of high-end wine. From Double Bay Sydney to Tbilisi Georgia, via the streets of Paris, the vineyards of Bordeaux and iconic Ch teau d'Yquem. A multimillion dollar cellar and a breathtaking collection of wine (and one very expensive broken bottle) is the elusive treasure. The cast of characters include Stalin, Hitler, Tsar Nicholas II and a motley bunch of Georgian businessmen/cowboys toting handguns, in the early days of Russian business development that led to the world of Putin and oligarchs.
