Description

Some of the world’s greatest wine lovers – with here and there a dissenting voice – celebrate the glories and pleasures of wine and the many roles it plays in life itself’. Many notables give their two cents worth in this volume about wine: Benjamin Franklin, Ernest Hemingway, Henry James, Anton Chekhov, Andre Simon, Roald Dahl, Art Buchwald and many more. Discussions, essays, poetry, anecdotes and personal comments… from Lord Byron (Don Juan) – “Few things surpass old wine; and they may preach Who please, the more because they preach in vain – Let us have wine and women, mirth and laughter, sermons and soda-water the day after”.
