Seven summer’s book about wine

Actually these are some of my readings these hot days, or rather re-readings. I like paper books although I have a good collection in ebooks as well. It is a convenient format traveling in Rome with underground and public bus, in little space and little weight you have the whole library at your fingertips.

I have a small amount of books about wine, guides, manuals, essays, tales of wine, in Italian, French, English. Years ago I bought a series of magazines published by Le Figaro Magazine, devoted of course to French wines. Not bad, although the volume on Cru Mitiques has only a couple of pages for each winery, and the wineries mentioned are only about ten.

The best books on wine and gastronomy are the ones about travel, and this provides me with the opportunity to build my own list of places to see. They give me a chance to think about the next place. What I’ll do next time, where would I like to go: am I going to visit places I have never seen, or am I going to go back to places I have been but a long time ago? It is a luxury to have these doubts, I know, many for afterwards will not even know where they will work or if they will still have a job.

The books I have been chosen in this list are, as I said, ones I have already read. In short, they are small suggestions, and take them as such. (Links aren’t affiliates)
