In Vino Veritas: A Book About Wine

A tasting handbook written for the California State Viticultural Commission in 1892. Explains how wines are classified, what to look for in the glass, and how to recognize the faults that spoil a bottle.

G. Grazzi-Soncini

The book that turned wine writing into a literary form. A scholar goes through his cellar bottle by bottle and records what he drank, what it cost and what it was worth.
