But wine was not just a class-vaulting accessory; it was an object of desire. The Wine Lovers Daughter traces the arc of a mans infatuation, from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Chteau Lafite Rothschild 1904 he drank to celebrate his eightieth birthday, when he and the bottle were exactly the same age; to the wines that sustained him in his last years, when he was blind but still buoyed, as always, by hedonism.Wine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadimans father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. The Wine Lovers Daughter is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52339755155744,"sku":"USED0374537941","price":25.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/81vUeBmxPoL_5a80b7e5-75d2-4d32-bf22-18c5c0ab9cf2.jpg?v=1789123838","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-wine-lovers-daughter-a-memoir-0374537941-used","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
