Overview
Including excerpts from novels, short fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction, Wine Reads features big names in the trade and literary heavyweights alike. We follow Kermit Lynch to the Northern RhĆ“ne in a chapter from his classic Adventures on the Wine Route. In an excerpt from Between Meals, long-time New Yorker writer A. J. Liebling raises feeding and imbibing on a budget in Paris into something of an art formāand discovers a very good rosĆ© from just west of the Rhone. Michael Dibdinās fictional Venetian detective Aurelio Zen gets a lesson in Barolo, Barbaresco, and Brunello vintages from an eccentric celebrity. In real life, and over half a century ago, Jewish-Czech writer and gourmet Joseph Wechsberg visits the medieval ChĆ¢teau dāYquem to sample different years of the āroi des vinsā alongside a French connoisseur who had his first taste of wine at age four.
Also showcasing an iconic scene from Rex Pickettās Sideways and work by Jancis Robinson, Benjamin Wallace, and McInerney himself, this is an essential volume for any disciple of Bacchus. Ā Ā
