Le Vin Et Moi [French]

By DuPont-J

WINE AND ME

"With wine, perfect doesn't mean sublime. A subtle vinicultural hitch can transform a pleasant nectar: John Malkovich, Barbara Streisand or - according to Caesar and for other aesthetic prejudices - Cleopatra wouldn't contradict that. A smooth wine can prove boring, while a little lift of tannin in the last notes, a slight bump on the smooth curves of its pistes, a hint of aggression in the closing moments, an unexpected last minute twist, and suddenly the drinker's mouth is surprised and satisfied, ready to place an urgent repeat order to whoever is responsible for the elbow-raising service."

Jacques Dupont, renowned for his articles about wine in Le Point, entertains as he describes his life as a critic: his epic memories of press trips, his expos s on etiquette, his rants about what a good wine "should" be. Jacques Dupont delights with his very amusing off-the-wall delivery and dazzling anecdotes.
A treat to read.
