Can anybody tell me the author of one or more of these quotes re wine please?

‘Red Bordeaux is like the lawful wife: an excellent beverage that goes with every dish and enables one to enjoy one’s food. But now and then a man wants a change…..’

‘…At its worst it is as boring as Céline Dion, producing endless numbers of seemingly identical soft, slushy MOR hits that you’ve forgotten five minutes after drinking. At its best, it delivers one of the most hedonistic pleasures in the world: soft, velvety wines that offer the drinking equivalent of a long, lingering kiss under a warm duvet on a wet Sunday morning’
Description of Merlot in a book published in 2001. Who is the author?

Who, with wine interests on 2 continents wrote of one of his wines ‘…like a mistress who gives no trouble’ What wine was he speaking of?
