Over the next few weeks, I'm going to be writing a lot about drink books. I'm kicking things off with a look at two of my all time favourites by Kermit Lynch and Patrick Matthews.
A bit more trade-focussed but Andrew Barr has also sadly disappeared from wine writing despite some excellent books like Wine Snobbery and Drink: A Social History.
Lovely article. I have tracked down and bought both books on eBay. The Roahl Dahl short story “Taste” is still the best story about wine. His “The Butler Did It” is also excellent.
