Sergio and IWM on the Road
Sergio Esposito Passion On the Vine Displayed on Table Passion on the Vine

IMPORTANT DATES AND UPCOMING BOOK TOUR INFORMATION:

“Without qualification, the best book about Italian wine today, if only because Sergio Esposito understands that its mysterious greatness is in its poetry—the earth, its diurnal magic, the ghosts of great-grandfathers. A beautiful, boldly sentimental memoir.”—Bill Buford
