About this product
Product Information
Every wine has a story. In this collection of elegantly written essays from the past thirty years, updated with a new introduction and endnotes, renowned author Gerald Asher informs wine enthusiasts with insightful, engrossing accounts of wines from Europe and America that offer just as much for those who simply enjoy vivid evocations of people and places. Asher puts wine in its context by taking the reader on a series of discursive journeys that start with the carafe at his elbow. In his introduction, Asher says, "Wine . . . draws on everything and leads everywhere." Whether the subject is a supposedly simple red wine shared in a Parisian caf or a Napa Valley Cabernet tasted with its vintner, every essay in A Carafe of Red is as pleasurable as the wines themselves.

A terrific introduction to one of the greatest wine writers of our times. . . . Complexity [that's] easy to savor., This is a number of charming collected essays on various aspects of wine by one of the wine world's most stylish writers, historians and wine lovers., Asher's discussion of the most memorable wine in his life makes the reader want to learn more while they are entertained in the process., "A terrific introduction to one of the greatest wine writers of our times. . . . Complexity [that's] easy to savor."-- Wine & Spirits Magazine, Simply put, no one writes like Asher anymore, and 'A Carafe of Red' serves as a capable introduction to his style and his work. As a study in effective, entertaining, and efficient wine prose, few authors even come close to Asher's celebrated ability to lucidly summarize the heart and soul of his subjects in only a few well-written and well-paced sentences. In that way, 'A Carafe of Red' is a short masterclass in wine prose.
