Wish I could write as elegantly as he does. ( ) A ramble by a giant of wine writing. Hugh Johnson's books have been trail blazing, his wine atlas was a revelation. He's had an interesting life, done a lot. He is knowledgable about wine and imparts his knowledge in a readable way. But this limp = albeit well illustrated -- biography is short on details, opinions and facts. It hops from one impression to another without ever seeming to fix on iany of them. What was being on the board of top Bordeaux Chateau really like and what work did it entail and what was the real reason he left? We don't find out. How about the Royal Tokay Company, the ST Wine Club?? Maybe Hugh is saving his real memoirs to be published after his death. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Hugh Johnson, the preeminent wine writer of our time, now brings to his fans around the world his first major new book in a decade: this stylish, intimate, and delightfully opinionated autobiographical tour through the world of wine. A Life Uncorked weaves Johnson's wide-ranging ruminations, memories, and observations on his remarkable life together with information on every aspect of wine--from its technical production to its cultural significance. In luminous, utterly engaging prose, he taps into his enormous experience to consider topics such as tasting, cellaring, choosing, understanding, comparing, and buying wine, as well as wine's more ephemeral and personal pleasures, lures, and mysteries. At the heart of A Life Uncorked is the idea that wine is more than a drink; its characteristics link it directly to memory, to locations around the world where grapes are grown and wine is made, and to the dining rooms, restaurants, bars, and gardens where we consume it. Johnson takes us to all of these places and many more in this delightful and revelatory memoir. Peppered with anecdotes throughout, A Life Uncorked simultaneously educates and entertains with its absorbing perspective on the complex and fascinating world of wine from one of its most well-known and well-liked aficionados.
