A Wine and Food Bedside Book by Claude Morny 1972 1st Ed. Hardback

A Wine and Food Bedside Book (1972) is an anthology compiled by Claude Morny, featuring a curated selection of approximately 70 articles from the Wine and Food journal. \nThe book focuses on the era when the journal was under the editorship of Andr\u00E9 L. Simon, the legendary connoisseur and co-founder of the International Wine & Food Society (IWFS). \nThe book is designed as a \""bedside book\""\u2014intended for light, enjoyable reading rather than serving as a technical manual. It explores the \""game of partnering wine and food,\"" acknowledging that such matches are often a matter of personal taste, mood, and weather rather than rigid rules. The essays are noted for being \""nicely written\"" by leading communicators of their time, offering indepth knowledge on various European and international wine topics.
