Description

In this stunning addition to the Assouline Ultimate Collection, Enrico Bernardo, the world's finest sommelier, imagines the ideal cellar filled with the most exceptional wines of the twentieth century: The Impossible Collection of Wine. Weighing the merits of rarity, terroir, taste and historical mystique, Bernardo is a list that any connoisseur could only dream of. To turn grapes into bottled poetry, the winemaker must be something of an alchemist. Despite changes in technology and tastes over the past 100 years, the craft has remained virtually unchanged; great wine remains the product of countless factors, not the least of which is the smile of providence. In these pages, Bernardo celebrates the most exquisite vintages around the world, from the 1928 Krug Champagne to the 1951 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 and 1973 Stag's Leap Estate SLV, taking the reader on a journey through history to enjoy an impossible collection. Hand-bound, with hand-tipped images and presented in a wooden box, this oversized deluxe edition is a must-have for any true wine connoisseur's library.
