Description
Explore the world of wine through the eyes of Andrew Jefford, a celebrated poet, philosopher, author, radio presenter, and journalist. In "Drinking with the Valkyries: Writings on Wine," Jefford combines a powerful blend of science and poetry to bring his deep insights and colorful imagery to life.
Hugh Johnson once remarked on Jefford's literary prowess, highlighting his unique ability to mix profound knowledge with vivid descriptions. Living in France, Jefford dives deep into the wine culture, sharing his reflections on what he misses most: the exhilarating experience of drinking young port, likened to extreme sports like zorbing and base-jumping.
This collection of essays, opinions, and articles spans half a century of Jefford’s discoveries. He encourages readers to listen to and admire wine, challenging old-school pretensions and dismissing the obsession with stellar prices and style-points.
"Drinking with the Valkyries" is the perfect companion for anyone curious about wine, offering a fresh perspective and a deeper appreciation of this timeless beverage. Add this exceptional book to your collection and embark on a literary journey through the vineyards with Andrew Jefford.
