Even the French admit that <b>Jancis Robinson</b> is the "undisputed mistress of the kingdom of wine" (<b>Le Figaro</b>). Internationally renowned for her work in both television and print, she is the editor of the bestselling <b>Oxford Companion to Wine</b> and has won more than two dozen major awards around the world. <b>Tasting Pleasure</b> is her compelling account of a passion that began while studying at Oxford University.Writing with <b>Julia Child</b>'s authority, <b>Elizabeth David</b>'s intelligence, and <b>M.F.K. Fisher</b>'s verve, Robinson takes us on a journey through the world's finest cellars, most beautiful vineyards, and best restaurants. As she explores the universe of the grape--from Bordeaux to Australia and South Africa to California--we meet scores of colorful, wine-loving characters, including <b>Philippe de Rothschild, Julian Barnes, Francis Ford Coppola</b>, and <b>Julio Gallo</b>.There are many books about producing and rating wine; this one is about enjoying it. Witty, revealing, and knowledgeable, in <b>Tasting Pleasure Jancis Robinson</b> has distilled twenty years in the wine world into a hugely entertaining read. <br/>
