Wine memoirs


Bloomberg, oddly enough, writes about the growing genre of wine memoirs.

Two recent examples of the genre offer very different views of what it’s like to spend a life discovering and peddling wine. Sergio Esposito’s unabashed love letter to Italian wine and food, Passion on the Vine, and Neal I. Rosenthal’s often querulous, Reflections of a Wine Merchant go well beyond vintages and varietals to explore wine’s cultural context.

I wonder if there is a market for a memoir about drinking Newcastle Brown. Now that would have some interesting fight scenes.
