A note on the dust jacket of this book describes it as “one of the greatest tributes to drink and drinking in the literature of wine.” It isn’t wrong.
The 1st edition from 1920 is nice to own but the 2008 version is perhaps better value in terms of the volume of information and commentary from Thomas Pinney.

This is the story of the circumstances, scandal and personalities surrounding the infamous “Lot 337″, a bottle of Chateau Lafite 1787 bearing the initials “Th. J.” and said to have been found in a cellar that might once belonged to Thomas Jefferson, which sold at £50,000 at Christie’s on 5 December 1985.
A fascinating story and a highly entertaining read.

The pocket version has new tasting notes for recent vintages and also has many updates to the notes from the original book. The new book was published in 2007 and brings this excellent reference up to date.
