First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very good. xm [2], 162, [2] pages. Illustrations. Tabular Data. Appendix I, II, and III, Bibliography. Index. The DJ has minor wear and soiling. Cyril Ray (16 March 1908 - 24 September 1991) was an English writer and journalist. After a spell as a war reporter, and then a foreign correspondent he became best known for writing about food and, especially, wine. He became a wine writer almost randomly, and had strong interests in other spheres such as military history and riding. His wife Elizabeth Ray also wrote about food. In addition to writing about food and wine, Ray wrote histories of major wine producers, including the champagne maker Bollinger and the claret houses Lafite and Mouton Rothschild. Ray's position as a wine writer came out of his appointment in the early 1950s as editor of a magazine, The Compleat Imbiber, sent to its customers by an independent wine merchant, W. and A. Gilbey. This led to invitations to contribute wine columns to Punch and other magazines. In the words of The Times, "Ray quickly developed his own style of wine writing, which was practical and factual with a lively spicing of anecdote. . His was a new voice in an area where flowery phrases had proliferated. He was ready to write about spirits as well as wine." He wrote books about the makers of great wine, including Bollinger champagne, and Châteaux Lafite and Mouton Rothschild. Ray had written for the Sunday paper, The Observer since 1959, and he went on doing so until he retired in 1973. In retirement he continued to write for Punch and published another 14 books between 1973 and 1988. Derived from a Kirkus review: Mr. Ray, although a British writer on wine, has been dubbed "Commandeur de Bontemps du Medoc et les Graves" by a grateful French wine industry. And with good reason. Ray combines discernment with an acquisitive appreciation of historical and contemporary detail about the greatest of wines in their environs. Even those who have not progressed beyond Taylor's Red and think of Lafite as a pirate will be diverted. Mr. Ray tramps up the Medoc area where the finest grapes are grown; discourses knowledgeably on the appellations of 1855 when Lafite claret was officially crowned tops in first growth; follows the curiously offhand wine-growing progress of the Rothschilds, one of whom purchased Chateau Lafite in 1868--another the Chateau Mouton, (perennially Number Two). Mr. Ray is informal throughout, reflecting Baron Elie Rothschild's advice on claret: ". . . pull out the cork and lap it up." Vin superieur for tourists wine bibbers, Rothschild watchers and Francophiles. Presumed First U. S. Edition, First printing.
