But wine was not just a class-vaulting accessory; it was an object of ardent desire. \u003ci\u003eThe Wine Lover's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e traces the arc of a man's infatuation from the glass of cheap Graves he drank in Paris in 1927; through the Château 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWine is the spine of this touching memoir; the life and character of Fadiman's father, along with her relationship with him and her own less ardent relationship with wine, are the flesh. \u003ci\u003eThe Wine Lover's Daughter\u003c\/i\u003e is a poignant exploration of love, ambition, class, family, and the pleasures of the palate by one of our finest essayists.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Farrar, Straus and Giroux","offers":[{"title":"Wine Lover's Daughter: A Memoir | Anne Fadiman | Hardcover | 9780374228088 | Used: Good | Back Stacks F 1744244","offer_id":48199817658520,"sku":"1744244","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/81vUeBmxPoL.jpg?v=1772564776","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/wine-lovers-daughter-a-memoir","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
