- Summary:
- Wine is often part of life's most memorable moments--and sometimes the wine itself is the center of attention. "Wine Memories" savors these many and varied pleasures in fiction, memoirs, and essays by renowned writers and epicures. Complementing these selections are wine labels from celebrated vintages and vineyards. -- From publisher's description.
