Michael Broadbent’s Vintage Wine (2002)

04BC3F13-58FD-4E18-A449-D0E7311D4340-256This volume superseded the author’s similar earlier works under the title The Great Vintage Wine Book.

A fantastic big book with thousands of tasting notes on almost every vintage wine you can think of. The vintage port tasting notes on pages 449 to 494 are amongst the most well read and frequently visited pages in my collection of books.

You’ve just got to have one of these!

Printer’s Ink by Gail Unzelman (2012)

simoncoverredo_300

From the promotional leaflet:

“Printer’s Ink is a strikingly handsome typographical presentation that is a pleasure to browse; but it also serves notably as a comprehensive, detailed bibliographic reference for André Simon’s written works, including those few (10) outside the field of wine and gastronomy. Arranged chronologically by publication date, with an alphabetical title-listing for cross reference, almost all of the entries are illustrated with a color photograph. Foreword by John Danza. This special bibliographic remembrance will be an appreciated, valuable addition to the libraries of collectors, booksellers, and students the world over.

Claret cloth, lettered and decorated in gilt. Edition limited to 200 hand-numbered copies. 194pp, 10 x 7.

”

This is a fantastic guide to the works of the most prolific author of books about food and wine in the twentieth century and a true collector’s item in its own right.
