But more intriguingly, apparently the book includes "photography of wine making techniques in Europe that are probably no longer used (e.g., a photo of Madeira being poured over a naked boy prior to bottling)" Whoa.

With Julia Child consulting. Knowledgeable authors, indeed. However, I also have the spiral bound recipe book for 'Wines and Spirits' and, well, the recipes are Embury-esque in booziness. I'd love to know who wrote the main book.Sylvanhttp://tastylibations.com/noreply@blogger.com
