Dave McIntyre of the Washington Post said of the first edition of Angels, Thieves, and Winemakers: Wine Poems, "...a must-have for all wine lovers. No ideology here, just perspective. Mills has a keen sense for why wine is so improbably important to so many of us, and on page after page, the wine lover will say, 'Oh yes, that's me.'" This second edition features many of the poems from the first edition alongside new poems. This is indeed a must-have for every wine lover, and also every lover in general.
