Inspired by Al Stewart's love of wine, 'Down In The Cellar' was produced and arranged by guitarist Laurence Juber (ex-Wings), who also plays acoustic and electric guitar - he last worked with Al on 'Between The Wars' (1995).

Al has composed 12 of the 13 tracks on the album, two of which he co-wrote with Laurence Juber - 'Tasting History' and 'Shiraz Shuffle'.

Peter White, musician and Al's long time songwriting partner, who worked with Al on many of his albums, plays accordion on 'Tous Les Etoiles'

Thirty four years after his first album, 'Down In The Cellar', is Al Stewart's 17th album, combining both his passion for music and wine. As an avid collector of wine, Al has received such accolades as 'Compagnon de Bordeaux' in 1977, 'Matres-Conseils en Vin de France' in 1980 and 'Commadeur d'honneur' in 1981.
