Award-winning actor Simon Cadell was a considerable wine connoisseur who took great pleasure in all aspects of the grape. In this highly entertaining book, published shortly before he died, he presents a wonderfully evocative concoction which takes the reader from aperitif to digestif through the writings of classic authors and commentators such as Andre Simon, Christopher Fry, Mark Twain, Elizabeth David and Edward Lear, recommending wines to enjoy along the way.
