John Baker is a successful Australian wine merchant who recently published a book, titled Stalin’s Wine Cellar.
The book is a personal memoir of John’s adventures in the 1990s pursuing a large, very old wine collection in Tbilisi, Georgia. The collection was rumoured to have belonged to Tsar Nicholas II - the last Tsar of Russia before the Bolshevik revolution of 1917. The collection was then seized by the Communists as state property and allegedly came to be owned by Stalin himself.
The book is part Assouline’s The Impossible Collection of Wine, with bottles that a collector can only dream of touching, and part Bill Browder’s Red Notice, giving readers a taste of the Wild West of post-Soviet Georgia, where gun buts sticking out of belts was a common sight.
Find the book on the Penguin Australia bookstore, or simply Google "Stalin's Wine Cellar" to locate a retailer near you.
