He was an oenophile, a strong advocate of waiting till a wine was at least 1 year old before drinking it, in contrast to the contemporary view of critics of that time who felt that wine was best drunk very young. Woodcuts of later editions are regularly found as illustrations on restaurant wine lists. [ Hugh Johnson, "Vintage: The Story of Wine" pg 127. Simon and Schuster 1989 ]
