By F. K. Fisher and Anne Zimmerman
Rating: 0 out of 5 stars
()
About this ebook
This anthology draws together the renowned food writer’s reflections, insights, and personal journeys through the world of wine and spirits.
For MFK Fisher, one of Americas most-read and best-loved food writers, wine was a passion nurtured during her time in France and, later, California. This anthology, edited by acclaimed biographer Anne Zimmerman (An Extravagant Hunger: The Passionate Years of M.F.K. Fisher), is the first ever to gather Fishers finest writings on wine.
In sparkling prose, Fisher reminisces about marvelous meals enjoyed and drinks savored; describes the many memorable restaurants that welcomed and even educated her; discuses rosés, sherry, chilled whites, and cocktails; and escorts readers from Dijon to Sonoma. Open a bottle, open the book, and linger over some of the best wine writing ever done.
