Book Description

Illustrated Winespeak December 1, 1992
A hilarious send-up of winetasters' jargon, this collection of cartoons offers a satiric look at pretentious phrases used to describe wines by humorously assigning those characteristics to people.

By A Customer
This review is from: The Illustrated Winespeak: Ronald Searle's Wicked World of Winetasting (Hardcover)
A great book that is a must for "winelovers" with illustrations that only a crazy Englishman could think about in the wicked world of winetasting!

5.0 out of 5 stars Only Searle could create such irreverent fun, November 1, 1998
This review is from: The Illustrated Winespeak: Ronald Searle's Wicked World of Winetasting (Hardcover)
Is this the book that Searle illustrated some 10-15 years ago? I enjoyed sharing it with many winetasting friends. It contained such depictions as "this wine is passed its prime" or "This wine is very immature" I loaned to someone and never got it back. If this is the book, I want it!!!
