In this collection of elegantly written essays from the past thirty years, updated with a new introduction and endnotes, renowned author Gerald Asher informs wine enthusiasts with insightful, engrossing accounts of wines from Europe and America that offer just as much for those who simply enjoy vivid evocations of people and places. Asher puts wine in its context by taking the reader on a series of discursive journeys that start with the carafe at his elbow. In his introduction, Asher says, \"Wine . . . draws on everything and leads everywhere.\" Whether the subject is a supposedly simple red wine shared in a Parisian caf  or a Napa Valley Cabernet tasted with its vintner, every essay in \u003ci\u003eA Carafe of Red \u003c\/i\u003eis as pleasurable as the wines themselves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Asher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520270320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520270329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/07\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 296\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.98h x 6.03w x 0.69d","brand":"Gerald Asher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980990382335,"sku":"9780520270329","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_15286fe8-96af-4165-95f4-fa20cfba92b9.jpg?v=1683253056","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-carafe-of-red-gerald-asher-9780520270329","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
