One of the world`s great authorities on wine, Hugh Johnson has been writing on the subject (among others) for almost six decades. This selection chronicles his personal take on developments that have revolutionised the industry for half a century & more. Johnson`s prose describes as no one else can the endlessly fascinating characters & landscapes of the wine world. He tells of setting sail with sybarites & braving the perfect storm, he debates at length the Pleasure Principle, lip-smacks through decadent dinners, teaches & learns in Tokyo & files breathless dispatches from Beijing. He bids a poignant farewell to the loveliest vintages, decries peremptory judgement & urges the Slow Food philosophy; falls in love (again), this time with Tokaji, tells warm winter tales through a vintage port & sets out a summer picnic at the source of the Seine
- all the while dryly annotating the scribbles of his younger self with contemporary marginal hindsights. This thoughtful, illuminating collection will delight not only lovers of wine, food, history & travel but also anyone who enjoys the intoxicating power of words.
