Catavino: The Literary Side of Port Wine

  • Gretchen · 2 years ago
    Strangely enough when I think of the literary side of Port, I think of your typical 18th Century novel that requires the ladies to retire to the parlor for tea while the gentlemen are served Port and cigars.... the trick was that the gentlemen each consumed about a full bottle of Port during the course of an evening...


    Luckily, we live in a time when the ladies are allowed to enjoy the Port as well....

    I don't think I've read any "single subject wine books" except for "Champagne: How the World's Most Glamorous Wine Triumphed Over War and Hard Times". And that book actually was telling a story more than being factual. I'll be interested in hearing your commentary on this book. Who knows'; maybe a book about Port will be my second single subject book?!
