Περιγραφή
"""One of the world’s greatest authorities on wine."" - Raymond Blanc OBE ""The finest nose in Europe."" - Daily Telegraph ""A true wine legend who gave so much to so many, both personally and professionally."" - Decanter ""The godfather of British sommeliers … he was not just universally respected, but universally loved."" - Imbibe Gerard Basset was one of the most influential and authoritative sommeliers of his, or any, generation. Tasting Victory charts Gerard’s astronomical career in his own words. It recounts in detail how he managed to earn his unprecedented sequence of qualifications. He was one of the first individuals to hold the famously difficult Master of Wine qualification simultaneously with Master Sommelier and an MBA in Wine Business. But it is his pursuit of the most important award of all that forms the core of this book – how, at his seventh attempt, Gerard Basset was crowned the Best Sommelier of the World. This memoir is also a record of how fine dining in England grew from stale and unexciting to world-leading. Above all, it’s about succeeding against great odds: when he was diagnosed with cancer, Gerard responded in typical fashion, by deciding to write Tasting Victory, which he completed shortly before his death in January 2019. - Autobiography of a true legend and much-missed character in the world of wine. - Inspirational life story of a rise to prominence from modest beginnings. -Updated commemorative edition with chapters from Gerard’s widow, Nina, and son, Romane, exploring Gerard’s legacy in the six years since his death. - Features memories of Gerard from major figures within the wine world."Παραγγελία
