Drinking with the Valkyries by Andrew Jefford
$70.00 Per book
In anyone’s list of greatest living wine writers, you would put good money on Andrew Jefford sitting at its summit. Across ten unmissable chapters, Drinking with the Valkyries brings together a fabulous collection of Jefford essays, old and new. It’s a siren call to the majesty of the wine experience from a writer who communicates with poetry in his voice. In this beautiful and varied volume of essays, opinions and articles spanning from 2007 to 2022, the author shares his fascinating observations gathered over decades of discovery. There is no other book on wine like it.
“For years Andrew Jefford has been one of the English language’s most thoughtful writers and stylists on wine… original and provocative, though not at all a provocateur… Mr. Jefford is a poet, and he’s far more interested in the poetry of wine — the transporting thoughts and dreamlike reveries it induces — than in the technical details… A pleasure to read.” Eric Asimov – The New York Times
“Jefford’s essays are like that glass of wine at day’s end – restorative, uplifting and enlightening.” Dave McIntyre – Washington Post
“A tumble of short stories, it reveals the kaleidoscope landscape of a staggeringly beautiful, complex mind, reflecting a staggeringly beautiful, complex world.” Tamlyn Currin, JancisRobinson.com
