Description Description

If in every time and place civilization began with a vineyard, it's because nothing is more alive than wine.
Wine understands, dreams, remembers, envisions. And it tells stories.
Of small farmhouses in Chianti and modern Babels like New York and Paris.
Of how a thousand status symbols can't compare to a ninety-year-old man from Montalcino who can tell you the exact vineyard of every glass.
Of how, from the Rome of the Caesars to today, wine has become persuasion, politics, even religion.
Of how man and wine have learned to tame each other, sometimes thanks to a cursed spider.
Of proud wines with 400 years of history, and humble ones with 2,000 years of life.
Of a journey around the world through 80 lands, meeting Doctor Merlot, the tennis player Chardonnay, the Cabernet cousins, and discovering that Sicily is the mother of Australia.
Of how the pleasure of drinking and the pleasure of loving often resemble each other, to the point of blending together.
A journey through the history and philosophy of wine, the vine, and life itself.
