Synopsis
CON BRIO - So appropriate; one Italian dictionary says 'brisk'; another 'with vim', 'verve', 'lively', 'sprightly'. The music dictionary says 'with vigor and spirit'. All are right. Romie Gould cannot be described with lazy terms. Her friends don't bother with dictionaries. The unchallanged dean of American winemakers, says, with typical Gallic brevity: "Romie Gould - Energetic, Vigorous, Positive. Full of individuality with the originality of Latin Culture. Linguist and well stabilized person in all functions, with far more smiles and joy in all her expressions. Friendships of 40 years without shadows or clouds." Andre Tchelistcheff (quote) Romie Gould's story of her life Con Brio will entertain and inspire everyone and, for some, it will provide a model of a liberated woman who didn't stop to learn about "a woman's place." And her life with Paco Gould in the world of food and wine illuminates those years when America began again to educate it's tastes to fine American wine. Square softcover, approx 9.12 x 7.45", heavily illustrated with sepia-tone photographs.
