The Greek word, sympotein, means literally "to drink together." In the era of Socrates and Plato, the symposium was a central part of Greek culture: a gathering where men consumed wine freely and debated the issues of the day. Joining Beer & Philosophy and Food & Philosophy in the "Epicurean Trilogy", the essays herein reflect and extend the ongoing relationship between wine and philosophical reflection, discussion, and debate.Philosophers, wine critics, and winemakers share their passion for wine through well-crafted essays that explore its deeper meaning, nature, and significance. Wine & Philosophy offers a playfully fresh, insightful - and, at times, controversial - perspective on the philosophical dimensions of wine and wine appreciation.

Customer Review: Excellent!

Very clear,with excelent ideas which I have not found in other books sofar, for the ones that really want to get to the bottom of it

Customer Review: Wine Cellar Construction Guide

This book has been extremely helpful. To be honest, I was a bit disappointed when I received it as it wasn't covered in color pictures of steps along the way, as other books include. However, in browsing other books they fail to address the details and precautions based on experience that the author's instructions provide. The author does a great job of defining the steps, yet allowing the reader to develop his own designs to suit his needs. Books with pictures would tend to sway the reader to try to build what they see. Thanks again for developing this guide.

The use of vinegar stretches back into antiquity. Vinegar is mentioned in the Bible, the Hebrews knew about it and the Romans made a drink out of it.Its origin runs parallel with the time at which man started to use grape juice to make wine, and its discovery was probably due to a mistake in storing.

Everyone knows vinegar is made from wine, and to make a fine vinegar, you need a fine wine. Fallot pays the utmost attention to the origin of the wines used and to the selection of flavors and essences added to their flavored vinegars. Fallot White Wine Vinegar with Walnut Extract is made from fine white wine vinegar (7%), premium walnut extract (2%) and preservatives.

Walnut Flavored White Wine Vinegar can be blended with extra virgin olive oil and used as a vinaigrette for watercress or endive salads. Add Dijon mustard to a Walnut White Wine Vinaigrette and toss with celery root, carrots or fresh apples and pears sprinkled with roasted or caramelized walnuts for a mouthwatering side dish.

Each bottle contains 8.37 fluid ounces (250 ml) of White Wine Vinegar with Walnut Extract by Fallot from France.

It surveys the country’s wine-producing regions; identifies key wine styles, producers, and vintages; and offers delicious regional recipes. Extensive reference materials—on Italy’s 300 growing zones, 361 authorized grape varieties, and 200 of the top producers— provide essential information for restaurateurs and wine merchants, as well as for wine enthusiasts.

Roland Grained Dijon Mustard is made from the seed of mustard greens. With the grained Dijon, all of the seeds are not ground into a powder before processing. A large portion of the seeds are left whole for added flavor and texture. Though slightly milder than our Extra Strong Dijon mustard, the Grained Dijon Mustard is used in the same way as regular smooth style Dijon, giving everything from salad dressings to hot dogs a gourmet flavor.
