Summary:
"For M.F.K. Fisher, the enjoyment of food and wine were inextricably linked. As the greatest female food writer of the 20th century, her dozens of books and essays are bursting with mindful observations about eating with gusto and the distinctive pleasure that comes from nourishing yourself and others. Thus, it's not surprising that most of her expansive body of work contains many references to wine. But in this book, wine is the central character. The anthology spans her legendary writing career, from her indulgent, wine-drinking days in France in the 1930s, to her years as a gastronomic grande dame living in California wine country in the 1960s, 70s, and 80s. Not just a food writer, Fisher's love for wine and other potables and her passionate declarations of the deep satisfaction that comes from a dinner table populated by good food and drink and pleasant companions, were in fact culture changing"--From publisher.
