But wine was not just a class-vaulting accessory; it was an object of desire. The Wine Lovers Daughter traces the arc of a mans infatuation, from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Chteau Lafite Rothschild 1904 he drank to celebrate his eightieth birthday, when he and the bottle were exactly the same age; to the wines that sustained him in his last years, when he was blind but still buoyed, as always, by hedonism.Wine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadimans father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. The Wine Lovers Daughter is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n        ","brand":"Miakarts Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49679835889904,"sku":"NEW0374537941","price":17.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/ethereallybeautiful.com\/products\/the-wine-lovers-daughter-a-memoir-by-fadiman-anne-1","provider":"Ethereally Beautiful","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
