This is a book for someone interested in the mid/early twentieth century history of the business and pleasures of wine drinking, and wine-selling. The stuff of what I assume is a lost world, even if the wine buyers and growers are very much around. A signed limited edition copy of this vivid wine-centred autobiography from Ian Maxwell Campbell. Signed by the author under the limitation. This post-war collection of reminiscences looks back at the Golden Age of wine and organically demonstrates the author’s learning of wines through each vintage.Written by Ian Maxwell Campbell, a wine merchant, gentleman soldier and cricketer. In the original cloth binding.
