Book Wine: Impossible collection by Assouline
Description
“Ultraluxe Wine Collector’s Compendium” – Wine Spectator
In this stunning addition to the Assouline Ultimate Collection, Enrico Bernardo, the world's best sommelier, imagines the perfect cellar filled with the most exceptional wines of the 20th century: The Impossible Collection of Wine. Weighing the virtues of rarity, terroir, taste and historical mystique, Bernardo's is a list any connoisseur could only dream of. To transform grapes into bottled poetry, the winemaker must be a sort of alchemist. Despite changes in technology and tastes over the past 100 years, the craft has remained largely unchanged; a great wine remains the product of innumerable factors, not the least of which is the smile of providence. In these pages, Bernardo celebrates the world's most exquisite vintages, from the 1928 Krug Champagne to the 1951 Penfolds Grange Bin 95 to the 1973 Stag's Leap Estate SLV, inviting the reader on a journey through history to savor an impossible collection. This oversized, hand-bound deluxe edition, featuring hand-cut images and presented in a wooden case, will be a must-have for any true wine connoisseur's bookshelf.
The non-uniform effect in the middle of the book may be attributed to the handmade nature of our Impossible Collection series
Exclusive white gloves and canvas tote bag are included with every purchase of an Ultimate Collection book.
