The must-have book for all wine enthusiasts and collectors, from the world's leading writer on wine, Hugh Johnson. Hugh Johnson has been writing about wine for six decades, and his books have sold millions of copies worldwide. His winning formula of insight, critical appraisal and superbly evocative writing has been often-imitated but never bettered. Now, he looks back at his decades at the forefront of wine writing. Beginning in the 1960s, the book takes a chronological journey through Hugh Johnson's writing, featuring work published in a huge array of sources, including Decanter magazine, the Sunday Times and the World of Fine Wine. But this book is not just about Hugh Johnson and his written work. It is about the evolution of wine production, tasting and drinking over the last sixty years. It is about the fundamental shift in our understanding of wine, and our subsequent enjoyment of it. From early tastings in Bordeaux - where even the wine served at Communion is St-Emilion - through a prophetic 1975 assessment of California, to a 2014 discussion of the ever-increasing ABV strength of wine, this book provides a fascinating overview of the development of wine during a period of enormous change. For anyone serious about wine, this is essential reading. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Programme
I am reviewing the book, Hugh Johnson on Wine: Good Bits from 55 Years of Scribbling, by none other than Hugh Johnson. Here are my thoughts:
^^ Detailed scribblings covering 55 years of wine expert Hugh John's delectable career.
^^ Includes lots of articles full of information about the wine industry and the changes over the years.
^^ Hugh Johnson also shares a lot about his own life during these years, which I
think adds to the beauty of this book.
^^ I loved discovering what makes a good wine and why that is so. This is such an in depth book, but at the same time it's written in a genuine, chatty format that makes it both informative and fun to read.
^^ Sprinkled through are delightful drawings that add to this book's charm.
^^ Would make a lovely gift for wine fans, and a great coffee table book.
Overall:
Hugh Johnson certainly knows his wine, and with 55 Years of Scribbling this book is full to the brim with my favourite tipple. Definitely a must for a wine-tasting connoisseur and a Hugh Johnson fan. ( )
