"This comic book may be one of the best ever written to understand
wine, it does the same for comic books. A masterpiece." --Gourmand
Magazine
"... article on wine and comics, Initiates is excerpted, Davodeau
quoted, book presented. Wine Spectator is the leading publication
for wine enthusiasts!" --Wine Spectator
"A compelling, entertaining and educational tale that takes full
advantage of the graphic storytelling medium." --Richard Pachter,
Miami Herald
"As Davodeau notes early in the book, 'Here's something that
counts: feeling the devotion and pleasure felt by the guy who made
the wine . . .or the book.' It's a simple point, but one that is
frequently lost in our commodified world." --Bill Sherman, Seattle
PI
"Davodeau's lines are clean and economically sparse, but powerful
enough to forge the bonds that tie both professions together."
--Nancy Powell, Shelf Awareness
"Etienne Davodeau spent a year teaching a winemaker about graphic
novels while the winemaker showed the artist his craft in return.
The exploration of what it means to make art, told through
different fields with more similarities than suspected, is
enlightening and inspiring." --Johanna Draper Carlson, Comics Worth
Reading
"I'm just going to come out and say it: The Initiates is one of the
best books about wine I've ever read, period. For anyone looking to
break out of their personal and professional comfort zone, The
Initiates is a well-illustrated inspiration."
