Is This Bottle Corked?
Author: Michael Bywater
Publisher: Clarkson Potter
ISBN: 0307462927
Category : Cooking
Languages : en
Pages : 210
Book Description
We’ve all come across those suave, confident, and all-so-knowing books that tell us precisely what to drink with which dish, how to swirl, sniff, slosh, and pronounce on our wine, and, above all, how to impress our friends and business associates with our expertise. Well, this is not one of those books. Is This Bottle Corked? is something different: a book that poses–and answers–the really important questions about wine. •What was Falstaff drinking when he called for more sack? •What was actually drunk at Plato’s Symposium? •When is rot "noble"? •Who was the first American connoisseur of wine–it wasn’t George Washington, but speaking of the general, what was his favorite wine? •Why on earth do wine connoisseurs talk like that? •Was Pliny the Elder the first Robert Parker? •Why do we drink to forget–and why doesn’t it work? These and many other intriguing, amusing, and curious questions are answered within, guaranteeing the reader a "Yes, but did you know . . .?" for every occasion at which a cork is drawn. Best read with a glass of aged German riesling, or perhaps a soft, consoling Constantia (recommended by Jane Austen for heartbreak and, to boot, gout) or maybe even a glass of St. Anne’s Rhubarb and Ginger Wine, this book is as much for bon vivants and those of us who just enjoy a good bottle or two as for the committed oenophile. Simply open, pour, and relax.

The Billionaire's Vinegar
Author: Benjamin Wallace
Publisher: Crown
ISBN: 0307338789
Category : True Crime
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
The rivetingly strange story of the world's most expensive bottle of wine, and the even stranger characters whose lives have intersected with it. The New York Times bestseller, updated with a new epilogue, that tells the true story of a 1787 Château Lafite Bordeaux—supposedly owned by Thomas Jefferson—that sold for $156,000 at auction and of the eccentrics whose lives intersected with it. Was it truly entombed in a Paris cellar for two hundred years? Or did it come from a secret Nazi bunker? Or from the moldy basement of a devilishly brilliant con artist? As Benjamin Wallace unravels the mystery, we meet a gallery of intriguing players—from the bicycle-riding British auctioneer who speaks of wines as if they are women to the obsessive wine collector who discovered the bottle. Suspenseful and thrillingly strange, this is the vintage tale of what could be the most elaborate con since the Hitler diaries. “Part detective story, part wine history, this is one juicy tale, even for those with no interest in the fruit of the vine. . . . As delicious as a true vintage Lafite.” —BusinessWeek
